Design

  • Scan or model the customer’s space. Import into C6 software.

  • Select structural mounting points and stringer path.

  • Select mesh density based on design intent, tread spacing and expected loads.

  • Run FEA analysis to ensure safety margins and optimize material usage.

Print

Print time: 1h45min

Materials cost: $150 (steel), $300 (aluminum), $450 (stainless)

Install

  • Paint as you would with another structure (not shown) and install on site.

  • Add treads and railing (railing not shown).

  • Test.

10x lower cost

  • Design freedom

    Design exactly what your customers dream, without manufacturing constraints.

  • Extreme speed

    Go from sketch to production in hours, not weeks. Start accepting more jobs.

  • Environmentally efficient

    Consume up to 90% less raw materials. Reduce transportation cost by making it locally and lightweight.

  • Safe

    No welds involved: more predictable strength. Lightweight to reduce stress on building.

  • Production ready

    Focus on bespoke projects, or make a standard design and start manufacturing hundreds per week.
