Quick answers
Is ArmForge free?
Many tools are free to use. VMC Lab includes a free three-minute trial; paid plans provide unlimited access.
Do I need an account?
You can open the tools without one. Sign in to save your score on the cloud leaderboard.
Does it work on my phone?
Most tools do, including the Project Estimator. Factory Sim, CAD Studio and VMC Lab work best on a laptop or PC screen.
What can the Project Estimator plan?
Robotic arms, balancing robots, CNC and automation projects, and more. It lists the parts, why each is needed, an approximate cost, and printing or machining materials.
How do I get my project built?
