"The ability to design and produce the cutlist saves tremendous time and that is what it is all about. One of the builders that I do work for has his clients come and sit down and 'tweak' the kitchen to their exact desires. For a (client) to 'see the cabinets' has sold more jobs than I can tell you.

Alphacam Marble/Stone

Stone user and finished part Alphacam is one of the leading and most established suppliers of CAD/CAM software for the stone industry. The Alphastone modules have been specifically developed to address the unique challenges encountered when machining marble and stone. Any configuration of machine, from simple 2-Axis to complex 5-Axis, is supported, as well as all the specific cutter types used within the industry.

We work with a wide range of companies, from small niche stonemasonry companies which manufacture bespoke and intricate products, to larger volume players.

One of our most high profile customers is Gaudi’s stunning Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Attracting over 2 million visitors each year, the cathedral is revered by the World of Architecture as one of the most original and ambitious modern buildings. Alphacam has been chosen for the manufacture of models to prove out the geometry and streamline the production of intricate components from locally quarried stone, ensuring that it fits together ‘right the first time’.

Naturally, Alphacam is compatible with all CNC machines, production control software and Microsoft supported Windows platforms, including Windows XP™.

Alphastone Modules

Alphastone Standard

Stone machine 2.5D and 3D profiles can be quickly and efficiently roughed using disk cutters, taking into account any stock material. This is particularly useful when roughing wash basin and bath tub shaped features.

Alphastone Advanced

Advanced Stone Disk cutters can be used in any orientation to finish sculptured 3 dimensional surfaces. The Marble module has the ability to import bitmap format art work and convert these images into 3 dimensional machining moves. STL files can also be imported and machined, making links to 3 dimensional laser scanners easy. There is full core drill support for both 2 and 3 dimensional material removal and depths of cut are automatically detected as well as tool depth limitations.

Alphastone 2D Engrave

Stone engraving Alphastone gives the user the ability to define any type of cutting tool, from disk cutters with programmable guards to ball end and user defined form tools. Alphacam automatically calculates the programming point of each tool from the material contact point.

Alphastone 3D 3-Axis

Alphastone has the ability to import bitmap format artwork and convert these images into 3D machining moves. STL files can also be imported and machined, making links to 3D laser scanners easy.

There is full core drill support for both 2D and 3D material removal and depths of cut are automatically detected as well as tool depth limitations.

Alphastone 5-Axis

Multiple 5-Axis machining strategies, with full tool gouge detection, makes complex machining simple. These strategies can be saved as machining styles and then combined to easily build multiple tool rough/finish operations.
