The modular architecture of Staircon enables you to add functionality to the software as your business grows or needs change.
Staircon is offered in different license levels with feature-sets ranging from web-based presentation to advance CAM-production.
These are some of the options (click on the different software modules for more information):
Let your customer see the staircase they envision. Staircon Sales is the perfect tool for construction and visualization in 3D. The staircase is designed in three views; Plan view, side view and 3D view. The visualization in 3D gives a good understanding of what the finished staircase will look like. Surrounding walls, windows and doors can also be visualized. Different design alternatives can easily be presented for the end customer, for example material and finish. The plan view is typically used to design the shape of the stair, floor opening and walls. Dimensioning can be done automatically and/or manually. The side view is typically used to edit the side shape of strings and balustrade.
The stairs compliancy to chosen building regulations (headroom, step height etc.) is easily tested. Documentation can be generated with project properties as well as scaled drawings of plan-, side and 3D view. Guides with predefined stair shapes are used to quickly draw the most common staircases. Staircon also allows for modification into any shape, giving the user a large range of design possibilities. Floor balustrade, floor openings and walls can also be created with flexible design.
There is no limitation to the number of stairs, floors or stairwells that can be designed in one single project.

FOR BASIC STAIR SHAPES.The first step in effective stair production for the smaller stair builder. Staircon Limited has the same powerful functionality as Staircon Professional, but some design options are excluded. If there should be a need for more design options later one, you can upgrade from Limited to Professional.
Staircon Limited is restricted from sharing projects with Staircon Sales or Staircon Professional.

DXF for CAM – Efficient link between existing CAM software (3-axis CNC) and Staircon Professional.
Export 2D – Export plan view, side view and/or production details to DXF files.
EFFICIENT PROCESSING AND MATERIAL OPTIMIZATION.Efficient and well-coordinated work preparation for manufacturers using full-scale print-outs. In combination with the add-on module Export 2D DXF, Staircon Professional is also used by CNC manufacturers using general CAM software.
The stair details are processed into production data with material optimization and/or printed to plotter as full size drawings. They can also be printed as scaled production drawings and/or bill of materials to be used for material preparation or as checklist on the shop floor. The plan view can be printed scale 1:1.

We have made successful installations on all the major brands of machines for the Woodworking industry. Please contact us if you want information or examples on how Staircon connects with your machine. The ability to customize Staircon CAM to the client’s methods of production is one of the keys of it great success. After the initial software configuration and installation, the day-to-day work is done in one single view showing everything from the initial project to the finished CNC file. The simulation of tool paths and/or CNC code visualized in 3D provides a good understanding of what the generated CNC program will ultimately do.
Multiple intervention points are possible to trace and analyze, as detailed as on individual coordinate points. Multiple Staircon production files can be processed simultaneously offering the advantage of processing details from several projects at a time and optimizing table layouts for details. The system can be setup to run several machines and distribute the stair details among them according to a set of rules. Informative reports offer help to operators with for example a post rotation scheme. Laser plot file (for example HPGL) can be generated and bar code reader can be used to pick up the laser or CNC programs (functionality may vary due to machine limitations). Staircon CAM is offered with the add-on module Edit database to allow access to the Staircon database.
Of course, Staircon CAM 3/4 has all the design features of the rest of the Staircon software family: The staircase is designed in three views; Plan view, side view and 3D view.

In Staircon CAD the work preparation is carried out in an efficient and well-coordinated way. The stair details are processed into production data with material optimization. These can be printed as scaled production drawings and/or bill of materials to be used for material preparation or as checklist on the shop floor. Then with the push of a button code is generated for the items to be machined on the CNC machine.

With Staircon Online Designer your customers can design their stair on the web, choosing from your range of stair styles. Measurement of floor height and staircase can easily be adjusted. The visitor can pan, zoom and rotate the stair and try out different design options such as material and finish. A number of predefined stair geometries are generated using the Staircon database. Used in combination with the add-on module Pricing, there is an option to display the price of the stair.
Please note, this service cannot be used to order a staircase.
It’s a trial version for demonstration purpose. The web-browser needs to have support for webGL.
Edit Database – Customized software, tailored to meet your own needs and methods.
Pricing – Calculate price of the stair with the push of a button.
The exported 3D file can be sent to the customer for viewing, which is an alternative superior to showing the stair with still images. This has been a much appreciated sales tool for Staircon users. Staircon 3D export comes with options for two different formats.
COLLADA; (open standard format) is rich in detail. The end-customer can view the COLLADA 3D in applications that supports *.dae. There are several free options, also on the mobile platforms iOS and Android. The format is also importable in several rendering software and some 3D CAD packages, for example SketchUp and AutoCAD via a converter.
IFC2x3; is an open file format that is used to carry information between different CAD software. It’s the international standard for exchanging BIM data.
O2c; is viewed with the o2c player (free).

The power of software can only be experienced if it is tailored to your own needs and methods. With this add-on module the database can be accessed and edited continuously by the user.
Some examples of data:
The stair model; In order for the design of the common staircases to be quick, a model is applied to the stair. The model has predefined settings for the construction and production methods, for example step distribution, type of posts and balusters, thickness of strings and steps etc. All of this can of course be adjusted individually in each project to meet specific customer requests.
Stair parts; posts, balusters, strings etc. with 3D description files optional
Material and finish: Textures for walls, doors, floor etc.
Profile and nosing’s (Profile ID); which carries information to Staircon CAM about how the machining shall be made.
The price is set for the stair details and can be configured to relate to material, detail type/model etc. The price is separated into two; one for the stair detail and one for applying finish to it.
Pricing is offered with the add-on module Edit database to allow access to the Staircon database.
For manufacturers who already have a CAM software for 3-axis machining in place, DXF for CAM provides an efficient link to Staircon Professional.The module offers a customized setup of DXF layers used to automate processing of the DXF files into machine-specific CNC code.
Production details can be exported as separate files and/or separate layers for later processing in external CAM system. Another common use for exporting DXF is if a stair detail is made by an external manufacturer, for example glass boards.
String layers (DXF-file)
Treads layers (DXF-file)
Staircon provides standardised formats for import and export. Integration between the ERP system and Staircon CAD is made simple by using an IMP file (text file) for import and XML file for export. The configuration of data selection and processing is made within your ERP system.
Output as laser file, led or motorised positioning of beams/pods. Functionality may vary due to machine limitations.
