Synapse Simulation — U.S. Gateway for SANLAB Training Systems
Train the workforce
before they touch
the machine.
Synapse Simulation brings SANLAB motion-platform simulators to the North American market — welding, heavy equipment, and driver-in-the-loop systems built on real hardware, not just software.
What Synapse Simulation Is
A U.S. point of contact for SANLAB training systems.
Synapse Simulation is a division of Synapse Global, built to give SANLAB simulation technology a direct, U.S.-managed presence — from first RFP to final install.

Program Design
01 — Driver-in-the-Loop
Motion-platform driving simulation.
The SM1800 is a 6DOF motion base with an 1,800 kg payload, force-feedback steering and pedals, and IPG Truckmaker integration via APO — closing the loop between driver input and vehicle response for research, prototyping, and advanced operator training.
Who it's for
Automotive R&D groups, university research labs, and defense-adjacent programs evaluating operator performance under real dynamic load.

02 — Welding Simulation
VR welding, on real torch hardware.
Sensor-tracked real torches — no simulated grips — feed a live engine that renders penetration, porosity, and spatter as trainees weld, across SMAW, MIG/MAG, TIG, and FCAW processes. No gas, electrodes, or filler material consumed.
Who it's for
Vocational schools, AWS SENSE-aligned programs, and workforce training centers building welder pipelines without burning through rod and plate.

03 — Heavy Equipment
Forklift operation, under real load.
The SIMPRO3 Forklift Simulator puts operators in a real forklift-style cab on a 3DOF motion base, training pallet positioning, aisle maneuvering, and elevation control in confined warehouse layouts — the tasks that cause real accidents when learned on live equipment.
Who it's for
Logistics operators, community colleges, and warehouse operations that need safe, repeatable practice before an operator touches a live forklift.

Why the U.S. Market
Built for how institutional buyers actually procure.
Curriculum Fit
Hands-on, competency-based training that aligns with CTE program structures and skill-verification requirements.
Perkins V Eligibility
Simulation equipment purchases commonly qualify under Perkins V funding for career and technical education programs.
Safety Mandates
Repeatable, gradeable practice on real controls before students or operators touch live equipment.
Process
Assess your program
We review your curriculum, funding path, and space to identify which SANLAB systems fit.
Configure the system
Torch, motion platform, or DIL rig configured and quoted against your RFP or purchase process.
Install, train, support
On-site installation, instructor training, and an ongoing point of contact after go-live.
