More than 2700 customers have profited from their advanced expertise and extensive know-how so far.
CAD/CAM solution all in one software
Compass Software offers a complete software solution that goes from planning staircases, three-dimensional visualisation of designs and cost estimation to supporting nearly fully-automated CNC processing.
Seemingly endless construction possibilities
There are seemingly endless variation possibilities for detailed construction of all common staircase types as well as construction of special staircase types, such as bolted staircases, folded staircases, spiral staircases, space-saver staircases, etc.
Material mixes of wood, stone, glass, metal etc and the positioning of different LED spotlights – round, square, or rectangular – into the stringers is easily possible.
Photo-realistic visualisation
High-end 3D visualisation makes displaying staircases as photo-realistic images possible.
Doors, windows, walls etc can be included to make sure the staircase actually fits into the customer’s space.
Online staircase configurator
Compass Software offers an online tool, which can be used to construct and display staircases interactively from anywhere in the world, even on smart phones and tablets.
End customers can use this tool online as well. For a free trial visit http://compass.software/configurator
Automatic CNC connection to all established machines
The integrated complete solution makes it possible to transfer everything that results from the planning process and construction on the computer directly to the machining centre.
There is no need for additional software, since CNC control follows directly and automatically from the CAD data. This includes automated positioning of clamping devices – vacuum cups, horizontal clamps, vertical clamps, etc – for staircase parts and wood components.
Due to the long experience in the business Compass Software’s staff has acquired an immense know-how, which makes them the perfect partner for making wood shops more efficient.
