Nos actions
Since 2021, we have been working closely with this school to provide an immersive and optimized training experience. In partnership with our distributor ALECOP S. Coop, we ensured the installation and configuration of the simulator, while also adapting and translating the training materials. Our goal: to deliver a solution perfectly tailored to the needs of both the students and the institution.
Bénéfices & résultats
The SIMSPRAY simulator offers an innovative and eco-friendly solution for paint training by significantly reducing the consumption of materials. In traditional training, the amount of paint used is substantial, with a notable environmental impact. With SIMSPRAY, students can practice as many times as needed—without any waste.
Beyond its ecological benefits, the simulator also offers a major time advantage. Where a student might need several days in the workshop to refine their technique, they can now complete up to ten practice sessions in just one hour within a virtual environment.
Finally, its realism is a key strength: equipped with a lifelike spray gun and numerous adjustable settings, it helps learners better understand and master the essential techniques of the trade, while training in conditions that closely mirror the real world.
