Do you want to make your lessons more enjoyable for your students? Discover how 3D simulation software for schools is both an educational asset and a vector of employability in industry 4.0.
To teach or not to teach using 3D simulation software?
A good question! Through the prism of our Visual Components 3D production simulation software , here are 6 reasons why you should consider purchasing software of this type for your school.
1. 3D simulation software for schools: virtually visit a factory
Many students are completely new to Industry 4.0.
Learning the theory behind various processes can be difficult for students because they don't always see the processes in practice and see the bigger picture.
But how do you show your students a factory without needing to go there in person? Give your students a fully immersive simulation using the interactive VR option of Visual Components 3D simulation software .
Put on virtual reality glasses and let your students walk through the layouts they created and interact with the simulated equipment .
Let them discover the performance and relationships between different parts of the system, improve their knowledge and skills based on simulation feedback, and practice the necessary skills without risking accidents.
2. 3D simulation software allows students to familiarize themselves with brands of robots and machines
In Visual Components, students can familiarize themselves with various brands of robots and machines while using the simulation tool .
By choosing equipment based on statistical data, they can create layouts from product feeding to delivery and understand design bottlenecks and changes that need to be made on the shop floor.
Test different controllers or other hardware using OPC UA as well as through a WinMod and SIMIT connection.
Learning is no longer just about abstract theoretical concepts and there is no need for your institution to invest in expensive equipment to allow students to experiment .
3. Stimulate student creativity with production simulation software
Practice is key.
For students, designing an implementation in the new software can already be difficult, let alone modifying and redesigning multiple scenarios. Often, unnecessary software complexity prevents students from deploying new ideas and presenting them to other colleagues.
Visual Components' intuitive user interface and large electronic component catalog enable students to quickly create different scenarios and provide a platform where students can exercise their creativity when designing various manufacturing systems.
4. Using 3D simulation software for schools makes group work easier
Group work is an integral part of student learning.
Learning to collaborate and work on assignments together prepares students for a real professional life where multiple people work on the same project at the same time.
To communicate ideas effectively, a good collaborative tool is necessary. One of the important benefits of Visual Components is the ability to live stream a Visual Components Premium simulation to Visual Components Experience. Using the free VC Experience app on any device allows you to connect to the simulation, view it, and collaborate .
After a recent collaboration with VR-ON, a true 3D conference is now possible with Visual Components .
Participants join a simulation session where they can discuss, edit and finalize assignments in real time from anywhere in the world.
5. Accelerate onboarding with learning paths in the Visual Components Academy
Often, simulation software is used during the course to carry out practical work. Students receive an initial introduction to the software, but then learning continues on their own.
We know it's a difficult process to get to grips with new software and that's why the Visual Components Academy exists. Students can select a learning path they want to follow and follow tutorials to develop skills from beginner to advanced level .
With the Visual Components Academy, you can be sure that your students will be supported.
6. Professional software, with specific prices for teaching
Our software is a new industry 4.0 standard, designed for industrial companies.
Keen to enable students to train before joining leading industrial companies in their markets, we offer an education pack . The latter offers an advantageous rate and additional support to teaching staff and students.
