Paint Masking Operations

Objective

To reduce the complexity and error rate of paint masking operations by using AR to project masking zones directly onto surfaces.

Value

  • Shorter prep time
  • Higher masking accuracy
  • Better quality control in paint processes

AR Role

Operators use AR to visualize exactly where tape or protective material should be placed, guided by overlays from digital instructions.

Paint Masking Operations

Problem

Paint masking often depends on interpreting 2D drawings and manually translating them to real parts, which introduces human error.

Solution

AR displays digital masking zones directly on the part surface, guiding:

  • Masking for surface treatments
  • Complex paint line applications
  • ATEX-compliant masking operations

Outcomes

  • Lower error rates in paint prep
  • Time saved on interpretation and transposition
  • More reliable visual results post-paint
