The MeltView APEX3 camera kit is our unique solution to visualizing welding in the classroom and remote learning. The small size and dual lens feature makes it possible to mount the camera to the welding torch or to the bench. The torch mount takes the guess work out of capturing a close-up, continuously in-focus image, while the bench mount makes it possible to capture stick welding or any other process at a distance.

For more information see our welding education page.

Apex 3 Kit for Welding Education

We purchased the MeltTools Apex 3 kit 2 years ago. Currently we use it several times a week for demonstrations in the welding lab as well as recording content for students to review. The ability to run live demonstrations on large overhead tv's has been a game changer for allowing all the students to see clearly. The puddle is clear and the surrounding area where you are welding shows up well. The camera has proven to be durable as we may have dropped it a time or two. It has operated flawlessly on GMAW and SMAW. There is a learning curve as there is a lot of adjustments that can be made to the picture and we chose to run two cameras simultaneously through OBS, a free video software, but once that is figured out it is pretty straightforward on a day to day basis. The only negative we have had is the software freezes up sometimes during HF ignition for GTAW. It has been a great tool and is proving itself to be invaluable in helping our students understand the various welding processes.
