As a department of Welding and Metal Constructions, we intend to evaluate the possibilities that Augmented Reality offers us in a boilermaking workshop, from several points of view. Both from the educational point of view, and from the suitability of this type of technology in an SME; that is, if it is easy to use, to program, helps teachers, improves the competitiveness of companies…

For all this, some step-by-step tutorials will be made in Augmented Reality referring to parts and assemblies with boilermaking transformations (with curves and bends) and we will compare the results obtained (economic, time, ease, operator training, quality control,…) with those of a company in our environment that works with a “traditional” manufacturing system.
