The visualisation of manufacturing process of pipes welding

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to show the concept of application the visualization technique for educational aims. This approach allows enriching a didactic process. Also this technique could help in solving problems consider with analyzing the manufacturing processes. Design/methodology/approach: The presented work bases on the application of computer visualization techniques for elaboration the presentation of chosen manufacturing processes. The computer visualization has been based on films captured in the manufacturing plant. Findings: The main result of this work is the proposal of the methodology of preparing visualization approach. It has been propose some remarks relating to this methodology. Research limitations/implications: The presented elaboration bases on one chosen manufacturing process. As an exemplar it was chosen the process of pressure welding of pipes with currents of high frequency. So the presented process links two main manufacturing processes: the welding technology and the plastic forming. Practical implications: The implication of the work could be found in two remarks. Firstly it is important to introduce to the industry practice the visualization approach as more didactic and which allows omitting some faults generated in a conventional approaches. Secondly this approach could enrich the scope of approaches offered by educational platforms in e-learning systems. Originality/value: The value of this work is its subject. In this work a new educational approach is presented. Secondly, in this work it is presented the analysis of preparing the visualization of a manufacture process. Also some solutions in this area are included.
