EVOLVE 6DOF MOTION PLATFORM
REAL MOTION. REAL REACTIONS. 6DOF WITHOUT LIMITS
Why 6DoF Changes Everything? SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM
Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) refers to the number of independent movements a rigid body can perform in 3D space. In the context of motion simulation, it defines how a platform can replicate real-world physical forces acting on a vehicle or aircraft. These six degrees include three translational axes (linear motion) and three rotational axes (angular motion):
-
Surge – forward and backward movement (X-axis)
-
Sway – left and right movement (Y-axis)
-
Heave – up and down movement (Z-axis)
-
Roll – rotation around the front-to-back axis (X-axis)
-
Pitch – rotation around the side-to-side axis (Y-axis)
-
Yaw – rotation around the vertical axis (Z-axis)
Why 6DoF Is Superior
Unlike simpler motion systems that rely on 2 or 3 axes (DOF), a 6DoF platform provides full spatial motion, which is essential for replicating realistic forces encountered during high-speed driving, flight maneuvers, or vehicle testing. This enables:
-
Real-time response to telemetry data
-
Accurate simulation of G-forces, weight transfer, braking and acceleration dynamics
-
Full replication of road texture, curbs, turbulence, terrain variation, and more
-
Increased immersion and muscle memory for professional training
6DoF motion systems are revolutionizing simulation across multiple industries. In sim racing, they provide highly detailed feedback — replicating tire slip, weight transfer, braking forces, and road texture with stunning accuracy. In flight simulation, they recreate pitch, roll, turbulence, and aerodynamic behavior, crucial for both entertainment and pilot training. Meanwhile, in the automotive industry, 6DoF platforms serve as dynamic test benches, enabling R&D teams to simulate real-world driving scenarios, validate HMI systems, and optimize vehicle dynamics — all without leaving the lab. Whether you’re chasing lap times, refining flight maneuvers, or engineering the next generation of cars, 6DoF technology is the bridge between simulation and reality.
