…heat shield cover for the air intake manifold on Honda’s 2023 CRV model. Annual production volume was 350,000 parts per year, and the required cycle time was less than 30 seconds per part. Not only did the project require high-volume production with fast cycle times, it also needed to minimize human interaction with the parts as they came off the molding machine. Once the molding process was complete, the next steps were to have four compression limiters installed on each part for joint integrity and 3M Thinsulate welded to the inside of the part for heat reduction. And instead of…

…an automotive body painting simulator from Lincoln Electrics and Honda. Aimed at providing industrial skills training, the simulation systems incorporate not just immersive visuals but also physical props—replicas of weld guns and spray paint guns used in real operations. The appeal for the use of ARVR training comes from the expected cost savings. Generally skill training in welding or spray painting in VR costs a lot less since it doesn't require a specialized location, vehicle components to test-paint, or cleanup operations. The use of replica equipment instead of the unnatural game controllers goes along way to help trainees build muscle…
