Over the last fifteen-plus years, ForgeFX Simulations has created a large and diverse collection of custom simulation-based training projects and interactive 3D training simulations. The custom simulation-based training examples in this showcase are representative of the range and types of projects we have developed. ForgeFX produces simulators for variety of different display devices and technologies, and are experts at developing Virtual Reality (VR) simulators that take advantage of headset hardware devices that immerse people in virtual worlds in a way that traditional flat screens can’t. VR applications offer a wide field of view, precise head and hand-tracking, stereoscopic 3D and low latency that delivers an immersive experience that closely simulates a physical presence in a computer-simulated reality.
Equipment Operator Training Simulators
Simulators are ideal tools for training heavy equipment operators to operate sophisticated machinery. They are cost-effective, safe, and efficient methods for training all concepts and skills from controls familiarization to procedure compliance. Simulation training maximizes productivity in the real world and increases a company’s bottom line via greater workforce efficiency. The following training simulator examples are products built by ForgeFX Simulations for their clients:
Unmanned Vehicle Teleoperation Training Simulator


Horizontal Directional Drill Training Simulator

Aerial Work Platform Training Simulator


Ascendant® 100 Heavy Duty Aerial Tower Fire Truck Simulator.


Komatsu Mining Corporation, Mining Equipment Operator Training Simulators

Aircraft Deicing Training Simulator
The Global Ground Support Aircraft Deicing Simulator is a virtual training simulator developed by ForgeFX Simulations. Intended for use by airport ground support equipment operators, the simulator allows aircraft deicing personnel to be trained, tested, and assessed on all aspects of aircraft deicing in a safe, risk-free, and low-cost virtual environment. This networked multiplayer VR training simulator is a ground breaking training option.
Heavy Rail Training Simulator

Robot Operator Training Simulator

ForgeFX Simulations developed the TV Tech Robot Training Simulator to help SAK Construction train and evaluate robotic milling operators. The simulator helps reduce wear-and-tear on real-world machines during training, increases operator familiarity with the controls of the robot and the pipeline environment, and quickly and affordably increases trainee throughput.
Oil and Gas Drilling Rig Simulator

The Schramm oil and gas rig training simulator allows operators to train on the new standard of oil and gas drilling rig. Featuring full 360° walking portability for fast moves from hole to hole without the traditional limits of two-axis rail-mounted systems, in the hands of well-trained operators, the rig facilitates higher productivity.
Simulation-Based Maintenance Training
To ensure that maintenance engineers are knowledgeable and fully trained on all of the operation and maintenance tasks associated with the equipment they’ll be responsible for, simulation-based maintenance training is an essential component of any curriculum. While not a replacement for hands-on training, simulation-based training rapidly speeds up the process of developing an intelligent and well informed workforce. Simulation-based training gives field engineers the ability to practice potentially dangerous and hazardous tasks, in a safe and risk-free virtual environment, so that procedures and tasks can be mastered before moving on to real-world training.
Diagnostic Imaging Maintenance Training Simulator

ForgeFX developed a number of virtual training simulator products for GE Healthcare, including applications for MR, CT and Vascular field engineers. These training simulators allow GE Healthcare field engineers to train for the technical maintenance of diagnostic imagining equipment on a standard computer, without the need for access to the real-world equipment.
Job-Process Training Simulations
Many jobs do not require heavy equipment operation. However, simulations are just as relevant to familiarize workers with challenges, job roles and safety requirements of their work environments. These simulations provide significant return on investment via increased worker productivity. Job-process simulations are used to teach and test job-based procedures, allowing personnel to practice critical components of the tasks required of them. This all takes place in a safe virtual environment where mistakes become learning opportunities instead of costly mishaps.
Livestock Manager Training Simulation
Livestock Manager Training Simulation


This 3D simulation trains pork producers to help pigs stay healthy, resulting in a more productive, and profitable operation. ForgeFX developed this interactive livestock management training simulation, named Virtual Walking the Pens, for Zoetis, formerly Pfizer Animal Health.
Construction Worker Training Simulation

In this training simulation, players confront industry-specific hazards while performing job tasks as safely and effectively as possible. California State Compensation Insurance Fund, having a vested interest in construction site safety, sponsored the development of this project to reduce job site accidents and their associated costs.
Military Personnel Training Simulation

The military has a longstanding tradition of employing job training simulations to prepare troops for a wide array of job roles. One specific example is the following simulation which allows soldiers to practice assembling a portable armored wall system, a mission-critical defensive structure, quickly in a safe and risk-free virtual environment. This military training simulation was developed for Dynamic Defense Materials.
Educational Simulations
Interactive educational simulations immerse students in the learning process, transforming them from passive audience members to active participants who control and experiment with content delivered in a compelling, interactive form. Done correctly, educational simulations use game design principles such as points, awards and badges to engage and maintain the interest of a younger age group.
Interactive Science Labs

For more than a decade, Pearson Education has partnered with ForgeFX to deliver online interactive science activities that help students grasp and master concepts through experiential learning. A wide range of science topics from fields including physics, astronomy, chemistry and geology can be accurately represented in simulations. Students experiment with these interactive models, tinkering with relevant parameters to explore how these systems work in the real world.
Heifer Village: Nepal

Heifer Village: Nepal, a game-based educational simulation developed for Heifer International, simulates the challenges faced by those living in poverty and hunger. Players take on the role of a teenage villager to experience some of poverty’s challenges and explore ways to address these issues.
Developing Your Project
As demonstrated by this collection, our custom-built simulations can be developed for almost any training or learning application. We encourage you to contact ForgeFX to discuss how we can create the perfect simulation-based training solution for your organization. We’ll talk with you about your specific requirements, and based on these we’ll work with you to arrive at a detailed proposal to develop and deliver your project. If you need a ballpark price, we can often provide that during initial phone conversations. If you require a more precise estimate and have a detailed project specification in hand, we can typically turn around a firm bid rapidly.
