These components will help learners to build skills that can be applied in the workplace, which is one example of how Amatrol transforms the global workforce one life at a time.
Concrete Beam Construction & Testing Training System
Amatrol’s Design of Structures 2 Learning System (94-DOS2) expands on 94-DOS1 concepts and covers topics like beam deflection, column buckling, concrete, building design, and construction. The 94-DOS2 introduces learners to theoretical principles such as how different types of loads affect a structure and then allows them build a scale model of a four story building frame and test how different stresses act on it. This marriage of theory and hands-on skills reinforce important structural design concepts and show learners how they apply to houses, office buildings, cathedrals, malls, and more.
Among many other components, the 94-DOS2 includes a concrete beam component set that allows learners to mix and set their own concrete beams, then test them for weaknesses. Providing components that allow learners to build and test structural elements while working through the world-class curriculum is one reason that Amatrol is the world’s leader in skills-based, interactive technical learning.
Amatrol's Design of Structures 3 (94-DOS3) covers the basic principles of surveying, surveying equipment, reading and interpreting maps, and global positioning systems. Surveying involves taking measurements of land and its features and then processing this information into usable data. Surveying provides essential information used by construction professionals, civil engineers and more!
The Design of Structures 3 Training System includes a level-transit kit, global positioning system, interactive multimedia surveying curriculum, an instructor's guide, an installation guide and a student reference guide. This equipment and curriculum will be utilitzed to cover vital topics like level-transit operation, trigonometric survey application, topographical maps, global positioning system applications, and more!
Robotics and Computer Programming

Amatrol’s Flexible Manufacturing Learning System includes a digital gauging module, barcode reader module, servo traverse axis, FMS interface module, sensors, test components, student learning materials for theory and lab, and teacher’s assessment guide. The learning materials also support the use of an optional CNC machine module to demonstrate robot loading and unloading.
Injection, Blow, & Extrusion Molding Skills
Amatrol’s Plastics Technology Learning System (94-MP3T) is an all-in-one trainer that can perform injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion molding! With the ability to hold four ounces of plastics, the plastic injection molding training unit can perform multiple molding shots without learners needing to refill the system and wait for the plastic to melt. Additionally, this system features two digitally-controlled heater jackets located on the system’s barrel and nozzle to create dual temperature zones, which is a standard feature on industrial plastics machines.
Plastics are used in nearly every industrial area from automotive to food and beverage. Besides strong hand-on learning, the 94-MP3T features thorough theoretical knowledge that not only intricately explains the processes, operation, safety, and troubleshooting of the three major types of molding, but also offers curriculum in basic chemistry and then provides an in-depth look at polymers and the properties of plastics. The curriculum also covers safety data sheets (SDS) and plastics system purging.
Hands-On Testing & Polariscope Skills
Material strength properties affect the performance and safety of almost every product made. As technology has advanced, material choices have broadened and become more complex. Engineers and technicians alike must be able to select the proper material for an application and analyze material properties when a product fails. That calls for industrial materials testing.
