USMC and NSWC Carderock Utilize 3D Virtual Reality-Based Training to Improve Painter Efficiency
January 26, 2022 — Painting is, by its nature, a wasteful process. Coatings have a limited shelf life for storage, a limited pot life once mixed and do not achieve 100 percent transfer efficiency — the amount of product on the intended target — when applied. Furthermore, poor application practices can lead to costly rework or premature coating failure.The U.S. Marine... MORE
