The new frontier in stone workshop management.

Jobs, CAD drawing with 3D preview, a materials library and live status of your CNC machines. All in one app that runs in the browser, on your workshop's own server.

Why Frontier

From customer order to machine, without juggling five different programs.

Frontier was born in the workshop, for people who work marble, granite, engineered stone and ceramics with CNC machines. The technical office and operators see the same information, each with the right permissions.

Jobs

Jobs and sub-jobs, work phases and file archive.

2D & 3D CAD

Parametric tops, sinks and holes, previewed in 3D on the real material.

Machines

Live status of CNC controllers, department by department.

Materials

A slab library with real sizes, finish and veining.

CAD for stone

Draw a top in minutes and see it in 3D straight away.

Parametric elements made for stone workshops: straight, L and U-shaped tops and islands, undermount, inset and double sinks, hobs, tap and dispenser holes. Change a size and the drawing updates.

  • Automatic dimensions and workshop layers
  • Edit tools: move, rotate, mirror, offset, fillet, chamfer
  • DXF import, DXF export and PDF sheets with title block
  • QR code on each drawing to open it from a phone in the workshop

Jobs

Every job under control, phase by phase.

Jobs and sub-jobs in a tree, linked to the customer. For each job you set the phases (cutting, CNC, waterjet, hand finishing, packing), the assigned machine and progress.

  • File archive per job: ISO, CAD drawings, PDF, Easystone CAM projects
  • CAD drawings linked to the job
  • Printable QR code labels to stick on the pieces

Materials

Customers see their top before it's cut.

A library of marble, granite, engineered stone and ceramics, plus photos of your own slabs with their real sizes. Choose the finish and vein direction and see the result in 3D.

  • Polished, honed, brushed and flamed finishes
  • Vein rotation and offset
  • The same material in the CAD 3D preview

Machine status

Know what every machine is doing without walking to the shop floor.

Frontier reads CNC controller status in real time: working, idle, error or emergency. No manufacturer is hard-wired: each machine has its own controller, department and work area.
