If you manage an industrial paint line, you know the cost of mistakes: wasted materials, rework, downtime, and inconsistent results.
What if your painters could build skill, confidence, and consistency before ever stepping into the booth? That’s exactly what SimSpray, a virtual reality (VR) painter training system, makes possible.
Improve Painting Technique Without Wasting Time and Money
SimSpray is a hands-on training system that replicates the experience of painting in a booth.
“This system allows you to coach those bad tendencies out much more quickly and effectively than I believe you ever could inside of a spray booth,” explains Matt Treske, chief technical officer (CTO) of ICAFe Companies.
In this video, Treske demonstrates how SimSpray virtual reality (VR) training helps painters understand and improve their technique — without wasting paint or backlogging production.
What Painters Learn with SimSpray
SimSpray VR training focuses on three fundamentals: angle, distance, and speed.
“Those are the repeatable things we can always try to improve on,” says Treske.
With visual cues and heat maps, painters can see exactly where they’re getting it right — and where they need to adjust.
“I can actually come over and look at a heat map to see exactly where my coverage was light, where it was good, where it was heavy, and then try again,” says Treske. “I don’t have to waste all the time resetting up a new piece to work on. I can just reset and go again.”
That kind of efficiency translates into cost savings — and faster, more confident painters.
Whether you’re painting flat panels, curved doors, or complex bumpers, SimSpray can help your painters develop skill and confidence. From customizing lesson plans to setting scoring criteria, “you can put together a curriculum that matches what you actually want to be teaching, based on what you’re actually painting,” explains Treske.
Try SimSpray VR Training
To see how VR training helps new painters get up to speed and gives experienced painters a way to refine their technique, contact ICAFe Companies about scheduling a demo.
