XR Application in Engineering

CAD


XR is extensively used in CAD applications to display conceptual designs on a computer as they are intended to look in the real world. This is referred to as visualization and it allows the user to test various options of an object before it’s built. Besides visualization, AR is applied in actual manufacturing processes like quality control inspections, training, and maintenance. Some CAD software employs AR such as SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk, PTC, and Augment.

TRAINING


XR can be used in training students on workshop practices, an example is the lathe machines, most students only understand the theory part of some machines and how it works due to non availability of the machine, cost and all are also part of the non availability, with AR, school can train there student on lathe machine operations, how it works and various part of the machine
