Virtual Reality Training Solutions

Hard Hat VR's passion is to provide immersive training experiences that save lives, reduce downtime, and increase operational performance. Users can digest and retain complex information much faste using VR. All students learn at different paces and in different ways. Some are visual learners, others work best with hands-on stimulation or verbal commands. VR can facilitate these various learning styles and help students excel and retain vital knowledge.

Why VR Training Works

Increases Learning Retention

Reduces Costly Mistakes

Flexible Learning Styles

Increases Engagement

Trackable Results

VR Training for Construction Skills

VR training is proven to help increase employee retention rate to 90.48%. The same study also found that 41.00% fewer errors were made by those trained with VR. This means the gap between the time it takes to implement new employees and procedures effectively closes with VR training.

Hard Hat VR Virtual Reality Construction Training

Construction worldwide is growing, and it is not slowing down anytime soon. By 2060, the world is projected to add 230 billion square meters of buildings—equivalent to the current global building stock. With this much-expected growth in the future, construction companies are scrambling to find ways to train their workforce efficiently in this complex and highly varied field.

Upgrade Workforce

Virtual reality can allow trainers to quickly develop modules where learners can be trained on many skills, safety practices, equipment, or hazardous environments before entering the field. This opportunity will save time, money, and energy as they enhance the workforce with these revolutionary solutions.

Closing the Skills Gap

Closing the gap in current training inefficiencies while making the training fun and interactive through virtual training is an opportunity few construction firms want to miss. Develop an innovative training program by investing in your students' success.

Thorough and efficient training should be at the top of all oil and gas industries’ concerns. With such a large, vital workforce, these industries need to prepare their employees to complete their jobs safely and effectively or run the risk of catastrophic—and sometimes fatal—failure.

A standardized, all-encompassing virtual reality training course can help unite and strengthen the training that these employees deserve. This training can allow companies to simulate mock drills, operator qualifications, annual training, and more. Dangerous and life-threatening emergencies such as oil spills, gas leaks, explosions & fires, and chemical exposure can be recreated in virtual environments, guiding trainees in how to properly and quickly respond to these events if they should occur. Hearing, seeing, and controlling the experience from a realistic first-person perspective will make all the difference in how employees will respond on the job.

Within a virtual reality experience, trainees in off-site locations can execute necessary tasks while being evaluated by a senior training manager back at corporate headquarters, saving time, energy, and money for the company. By bringing your company’s safety training to the forefront, your company itself will thrive

American manufacturing is growing faster than in decades, but a shortage of skilled laborers is stunting its full growth. The decline in trade school graduates over the past few decades has left a gaping hole in potential employees. Job openings remain unfulfilled as companies bend over backward to attract new talent to replace the current aging workforce.

These efforts, while noble, can quickly grow costly because of low labor retention and high turnover rates in the manufacturing industry. Adding in the fact that automation and robotics are replacing positions formerly held by humans, it is even more imperative that positions reserved for humans are filled by talented people.

How can manufacturing companies train new hires in cost-effective, engaging, and interesting ways that will encourage them to work longer in the industry? First, integrate VR training with traditional training—which is often conducted in classrooms or on the production line, taking senior employees away from their jobs. Virtual reality training provides manufacturers with the opportunity to simulate a production line environment before new laborers even hit the floor.

Virtual reality can train fresh hires or assess current employees on product assembly, hazard recognition, equipment handling, and more. Whichever way companies choose to utilize this technology, it holds the key to efficiency and future successes for manufacturers.

Every company knows how important it is to be compliant with OSHA protocols. Still, most are not aware of how to efficiently train their employees to follow these guidelines across various disciplines.

Traditional safety training can require costly outside instructors, time off the job, and pricey specialized equipment. Virtual reality, however, can help quickly familiarize novice and seasoned employees with updated safety protocols while saving time, money, and energy for both employer and employee.

Employees trained in these realistic, virtual environments will be familiarized with extreme heights, live wires, complex machinery, and more, helping them build muscle memory and retain pertinent information vital to on-the-job success. Using virtual reality as a training and assessment tool can give management a new perspective on improving their safety training.

  • Download ABS-CF10 Material Guide

System Overview and Compatibility

ABS-CF10 is currently available on the F123™ Series machines with 0.007 inch (0.178 mm), 0.010 inch (0.254 mm), and 0.013 inch (0.33 mm) layer heights. It requires a dedicated ABS-CF10 extrusion head, denoted with a dark green case, for all layer heights for the model material. It is compatible with QSR Support™ as a soluble support system and requires a standard F370™ extrusion head for all layer heights for the support material. This system uses the standard F123 Series build tray. ABS-CF10 and QSR are available in a standard F123 90-cubic-inch spool.

  • Stratasys FDM Materials

Stratasys ABS-CF10 combines standard ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material with 10% chopped carbon fiber by weight.

The result is a low moisture-sensitive FDM® thermoplastic 50% stiffer and 15% stronger than standard ABS 3D printing material.

Typical applications include manufacturing tools, jigs, fixtures and end effectors that benefit from the combination of increased stiffness and reduced weight.

  • Stratasys Diran 410MF07

Diran™ 410MF07 is a nylon-based thermoplastic FDM® material, mineral-filled 7% by weight. It demonstrates very good toughness and impact strength combined with resistance to hydrocarbon-based chemicals. Its smooth, lubricious surface quality offers low sliding resistance.

Typical applications include jigs, fixtures and other forms of general manufacturing tooling, and is particularly effective for applications needing a non-marring interface between the tool and the workpiece.
