CM Labs has released Vortex Studio 2026.6 is CM Labs’ core simulation technology platform for creating, deploying, and validating high-fidelity, real-time mechanical simulations across training, engineering, and automation.

Vortex Studio serves as a platform for developing and launching real-time, interactive simulations of mechanical systems. It constitutes a vital element in all of CM Labs’ top-tier equipment simulation curriculum products and can be used for designing and producing personalized real-time, interactive simulation products.

Learn how to transform a 3D model into an interactive mechanism using the Vortex Studio Editor. This tutorial explains how to create and model parts, group them in assemblies, define their collision geometries and connect them using constraints. You will also learn how to connect a simple USB joystick to control your mechanism and define a first-person point-of view.
