Gan enabled welding

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media collectively storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• determining conditions of a welding procedure using a virtual image of a structure on which the welding procedure is to be performed;
• generating specifications for performing the welding procedure based on the conditions;
• generating a virtual reference shape based on the conditions and the specifications, the virtual reference shape generated by modifying the virtual image;
• comparing a resulting shape of the welding procedure with the virtual reference shape;
• determining a quality of the welding procedure based on the comparison;
• and
• storing data pertaining to the welding procedure.
