Build foundational painting, coating, and abrasive blasting skills through repeatable virtual practice.
SimSpray® is a virtual reality training system for schools, workforce development organizations, and industrial employers that need a safer, more accessible way to introduce and reinforce proper application techniques. Learners use motion-tracked equipment to complete realistic projects while receiving immediate feedback on technique and coating quality.
SimSpray supplements instructor-led education and live equipment practice. It gives learners more opportunities to practice, make corrections, and build confidence before and alongside work in an actual spray or blasting environment.
With configurable processes, industry-specific content, customizable learning paths, and detailed performance reporting, SimSpray helps training programs provide consistent skills practice without using paint, coatings, blasting media, panels, or production equipment for every repetition.
Education, workforce, and industry organizations use SimSpray to support career exploration, foundational skills development, onboarding, remediation, and employee upskilling.
SimSpray can be configured to support a range of common industrial application processes. Available content and equipment depend on the selected system configuration.
Practice spray-gun setup and application techniques while receiving feedback on angle, distance, speed, coating coverage, and material transfer.
Apply virtual powder to parts with challenging shapes and review coverage, technique, and coating quality without consuming powder or preparing a coating line.
Practice equipment positioning, coverage, and surface-preparation techniques in simulated work environments without consuming blasting media.
Develop application skills for projects and environments associated with construction, industrial finishing, and protective coatings.
Practice controlling application variables for processes that combine hydraulic pressure with air-assisted atomization.
An administrator-enabled HMD-Free Mode allows learners to complete supported projects with motion-tracked equipment and on-screen controls without wearing the head-mounted display. This option retains hands-on practice and performance feedback while removing the fully immersive view.
SimSpray gives instructors flexible tools to build structured courses, assign targeted practice, and measure learner progress. Programs can use available projects or adapt training to reflect their own instructional sequence and performance expectations.
Fundamentals content gives learners a foundation for working with basic parts, panels, and application techniques. Optional content packs can extend training with industry-relevant parts, materials, projects, and virtual environments.
Processes, parts, environments, content packs, and optional equipment vary by configuration. Tech-Labs will confirm current compatibility and included content when preparing your recommended system.

View ScreenshotsSimSpray expands opportunities for meaningful practice without requiring a prepared spray booth, consumable materials, or production equipment for every virtual project. Learners can complete a project, study the results, apply feedback, and immediately try again.
Repeat virtual projects without consuming paint, coatings, blasting media, practice parts, or disposable supplies.
Use visual cues, scores, coverage maps, and performance analysis to help learners understand how their technique affected the completed project.
Build courses and lessons around selected processes, parts, applications, and competency goals.
Introduce equipment movements and application concepts without exposing beginning learners to chemical fumes, pressurized materials, blasting media, or production hazards.
Use consistent projects and recorded performance information to focus coaching on each learner's specific needs.
Allow learners to practice individually while instructors or classmates observe the painter's view, review results, and discuss technique.
Give prospective students and employees an engaging introduction to painting, coating, and surface-preparation careers.
Use virtual projects for introductory instruction, remediation, refresher training, or preparation immediately before live practice.
VRSim reports that its virtual training tools can teach coating skills up to five times faster and reduce material costs by up to 50%. Results will vary by organization, curriculum, implementation, and comparison method. Review the manufacturer's supporting product information and source.
SimSpray is the comprehensive system for training programs that need a robust selection of coating and blasting processes, larger virtual parts, broader industry content, and advanced customization.
SimSpray Go is a compact, portable option designed for schools, specialty manufacturers, mobile training programs, career fairs, and organizations that need to move training between locations.
No. SimSpray supplements instructor-led education and practice with real equipment and materials. It helps learners establish foundational technique, receive additional feedback, and prepare for productive live practice.
Depending on the selected configuration, SimSpray can support HVLP, airless, air-assisted airless, powder coating, and abrasive blasting applications.
Yes. Instructors can organize courses and lessons, select or create projects, adjust performance requirements, customize score weighting, and use reporting tools to monitor learner progress.
Supported SimSpray systems include an administrator-enabled HMD-Free Mode. Learners use motion-tracked equipment and on-screen controls while retaining access to supported practice activities and performance feedback.
Available content supports applications in automotive, aerospace, rail, marine, truck, furniture and cabinetry, building trades, structural coating, manufacturing, and workforce development.
Tech-Labs can help you compare processes, content packs, equipment, space requirements, and implementation options to identify the right SimSpray configuration for your learners.
