The future of welding training.
From MIG/MAG to laser welding – hybrid training for industry, education and the labour market.
What is Class4Lasers?
Class4Lasers brings together the key players shaping the future of welding training and makes new technologies immediately experienceable.
Class4Lasers is a platform for the future of welding training – focused on virtual welding simulation, new laser technologies, workplace safety and modern training models.
We bring together technology providers, training organisations, industry, educational institutions and relevant bodies to make new solutions not just visible, but practically experienceable and open for discussion.
With partners such as AMS, AUVA, FH Oberösterreich and ÖGS, Class4Lasers connects four especially relevant perspectives: training, workplace safety, science and welding technology.
At Class4Lasers, all training scenarios are shown purely virtually. XR complements hands-on welding training as part of a hybrid training concept – no real welding stations are used on site.
Dig in Vision's XR platform is not limited to welding: photovoltaic installation, soft-skills/customer-service training and non-destructive testing (NDT) can also be mapped as virtual training scenarios – see "XR Training Beyond Welding" further below.
Dig in Vision's technology is built on state-of-the-art standards and globally available standard hardware (e.g. Meta Quest) instead of proprietary large-scale systems – portable, scalable and field-tested internationally.
Live Experience
Two live events – one campaign. Experience MIG/MAG, TIG and laser welding alongside virtual training on site.
