Optimo is for stone fabricators who are looking for top-tier performance from their CNC machines. If you’re looking to optimise your existing tooling or bring additional functionality in-house through any of the 3 service options, we can provide you with a solution that will deliver results.

We have a dedicated technical team with over 40 years experience in the stone fabrication industry. Our technical team provide both remote and on-site support to ensure your CNC process is optimised to it’s fullest potential.

Optimo offers 3 different services; One Time Setup, Rental and Subscription. We know that every factory has different requirements which is why we offer a variety of service options. Speak to your dedicated rep or contact our technical team, who will help assess which will benefit you the most.

While you may see an increase in CNC tooling cost, this will be hugely offset by the amount of time and labour used in your production along with a reduction of other consumables such as polishing pads.

In the first instance of setting up CNC tools, Optimo saves up to 95% of the time it would normally take to do this manually. Additional benefits can then be seen through the stone fabrication process with a reduction of the amount of hand finishing required.

This depends on your definition of finished. In most cases the stone will come off the CNC with a high-quality finish, although minor tasks such as softening an underside edge may still be required depending on the profile.

Optimo can help less experienced operators quickly and effectively set up CNC tooling. We also offer advice and assistance to ensure knowledge and fabrication skills are retained.

The system does not set up recesses and flutes in the same way as profiling tools. However, please speak to us as we may be able to help by providing a technician to assist.

Yes. While we recommend the tooling we supply due to consistent performance and quality control, we are happy to work with tooling you already own.

This is possible but not always recommended, as used tooling changes shape over time. We can redress used tools and add new polish wheels before setting them up as a fresh set.
