Discover the innovative software platform that’s at the core
of CM Labs’ industry-leading equipment simulators.
At the core of our award-winning simulators is Vortex Studio. With development steered by in-house PhD physicists, engineers, and mathematicians, Vortex Studio is the industry’s leading platform for building and deploying real-time, interactive simulations of mechanisms, vehicles, and vessels.
Vortex Studio is used by researchers and engineers worldwide to drive innovation that is improving the work sites of today — and tomorrow.
Whether it’s for training or product design, we are continually developing simple and effective tools for interactive simulation and visualization.
From the engineer’s desktop to immersive human-in-the-loop simulators, Vortex Studio allows engineers to simulate and visualize heavy equipment in real-time.
Vortex Studio enables marine engineers to solve the challenges of designing and testing equipment for offshore and subsea operations using simulation.
The engineering process iteratively moves from design and development to integration and deployment through a series of prototypes and tests.
Vortex Studio is an effective tool for systems design, decoupling prototypes from physical hardware, allowing for quick virtual validation of design assumptions and verification of solutions.
Increasing mechanical complexity means that operations carry exponential levels of risk—some of which are dangerous or impossible for physical testing (deep sea, outer space, contaminated areas).
Before launching your operation, Vortex Studio allows for the development of scenarios that can test for flaws, delays, and complete “roadblocks”—de-risking and mitigating points of failure.
Testing in live operating environments is a challenging and costly endeavor, increased when adding advanced control systems. The human-machine connection needs to be validated at every stage, from initial design to the integration of ergonomic solutions.
Vortex Studio lets you test new systems and controls in-the-loop by integrating hardware, software, and HMI control systems into the virtual machine for deployment in complex operating scenarios.
Those who interact with both traditional and next-generation equipment need to be trained in ways that are applicable and transferable to real-world working conditions.
Machinery engineered in Vortex Studio can be easily deployed into high-fidelity scenarios, providing a training tool that is both visually appealing and valuable for long-term skills development.
Presenting new technologies in a virtual environment lets you show customers the nuanced advantages of your product, in an environment more applicable than a showroom.
Vortex Studio allows sales and marketing teams to simulate an on-machine experience to demonstrate the benefits of novel technologies through fully integrated visuals, sound and motion.
