Build a planar arm
Edit links, joints and model parameters, then inspect the mechanism directly on the canvas.
Part of METRLab · An independent desktop workbench
A chain of joints.
A clearer understanding.
Explore robot-arm geometry, kinematics and dynamics in a visual workspace that keeps the reasoning within reach.
Explore the workbench ↗01 / Your workbench
Actual desktop appUnderstand the mechanism, not just the pose.
Captured from the actual Qt application. Not a browser-based simulator or mock interface.
02 / A little more clarityRoom to explore.
Room to explore.
Tools to understand.
One focused app, connected to a family of engineering workbenches. Install what you need; keep each app independent.
Follow the kinematics
Explore forward kinematics and the existing screw-axis tools. Connect geometric choices with mathematical descriptions.
See the dynamics
Inspect static torques, trajectory results and supported free-swing simulations for the arm model.
Work through the reasoning
Use guided Newton–Euler analysis and mathematical results alongside saved models and bundled examples.
03 / Standalone, by design
A workbench of its own.
METRLab Home is optional.
The app runs independently.
Apple Silicon target
Arms for macOS
Standalone installer not yet published
The page is ready; the installer is not. A download will be enabled only after a native build is packaged and verified.
x86-64 target
Arms for Linux
Standalone installer not yet published
No Linux binary is attached to this page. Platform verification is separate from product-page availability.
Honest about the boundaries.
Educational software, under active development.
What is supported?
An educational modeling environment. Robot control, collision safety, hardware integration and industrial robot certification are outside its scope.
Do I need METRLab Home?
No. Each workbench is a separate application. Home is an optional launcher that discovers installed apps and links to pages for the others.
Is my work uploaded?
Normal editing and simulation use local documents. Optional connected features have their own configuration; these product pages contain no analytics, account system or upload form.
Can I download it yet?
Not from this page yet. The first packaged preview is Circuits; other standalone app installers require their own native build and verification.
