From VirtualArc® Customer evaluation
“The major strength of this program is the easiness of performing and fine-tuning welding tests off-line. This means that testing time in the production is reduced to a very low level.”
“The first year of investment the program has paid itself back.” “Another noteworthy aspect is the easy use. Very quickly, you get familiar with the program.” “The result from the virtual test is very precise and for the most applications it can be used directly.”
Kim Hurup IWE, Invacare EC-Høng, Denmark
