Abstract
This document presents a virtual training system oriented for learning of electric welding applied to automotive body assembly industry. The training tasks are developed in a virtual immersion environment created with Unity 3D graphic software, in order to improve the user’s skills and welding skills through a teaching-learning process that allows the virtual manipulation of industrial instruments. In this way, the experience in welding task is obtained, risks of industrial accidents are reduced and waste is eliminated. The experimental results show the behavior of the system and the evolution of the user’s skills.
