STRATO: One model, from design to stone

The same digital model to check, optimize, print, and control every step.

Design

Designed for stone

Before anything is printed, STRATO checks the design against what stone and the printer can do, and adapts it with you.

  1. Check

    Every wall and every duct is measured against what stone can take. Where a wall is too thin or a duct too narrow, STRATO shows it.

  2. Materials

    The stone is chosen among the ones available, and its mix is worked out for it, grain by grain.

Make

From the model to the machines

Print bed optimization, slicer, and printer and robot controller.

  1. Pack

    Combine more jobs into the same print bed to save time.

  2. Slice

    No manual settings. The print bed is sliced automatically for best print performance.

  3. Print

    The job goes to the printer's controller, where you can simulate the whole process to avoid mistakes.

  4. Finish

    The robot's path is planned on the same model, then the robot mills, grinds and polishes each element along it.

Monitor

Every layer, as it is

Dedicated cameras watch the print as it runs. What they see is checked against the model, rebuilt in 3D for quality control.

  1. Print and see

    A camera records each layer of the bed as it prints. Every part is measured against its outline.

  2. Rebuild in 3D

    Any part on a layer can be seen in 3D as it was printed.

  3. Quality checks

    While it prints, every part is checked inside, layer by layer. Dry pockets, where a layer took too little binder, are found and shown where they are.

STRATO comes with every printer

Our machines run on STRATO, from the design check to the print record. It is part of every machine and every licence.
