Key Features

Reduce your material costs by understanding your full and partial slab inventory with a Pathfinder® from Park Industries®. In addition, you will improve your shops productivity and will be able to fully manage your slab inventory.

The Pathfinder® workstation is designed to capture precise, fully-calibrated images of your stone slab in high resolution. Whether you want to build a visual library of your slab inventory, or create scaled images for further programming on your CNC Saw, Fab Center, or CNC Saw/Waterjet, the Pathfinder® workstation is a rock-solid platform for consistent, accurate imaging.

With Slabsmith™, you can create multiple layout options for a job quick and easy helping you create the perfect layout. For example you could try a layout that results in optimal yield, and another layout that results in exceptional beauty by matching the veins of the material. Propose both options to the customers, each priced appropriately, and let the customer decide. You will be surprised at how often the customer will select the grain matching option verses the yield option.

Vein Matching
The Slabsmith™ software allows you to develop a countertop that appears flawless with the veins matching precisely over the entire kitchen or design.

Optimal Yield
The optimal yield option will utilize the space on a slab most efficiently and allow for common line cutting.

The Pathfinder® and Slabsmith™ combination ensures that the color of the slab is accurate and consistent from slab to slab. Even small variations in color can be seen during the layout process. You can see slight changes in color variations even with uniform material like quartz. The accuracy goes beyond just the length and width of the slab. In fact, any random point on the slab is correct. Virtually all distortions that result from the camera lens are eliminated.

Using the powerful Slabsmith™ software, the Pathfinder® captures precise, fully-calibrated images in high resolution. These images are stored in the slab inventory and are also used for slab layout enabling customers to see their countertop, in 3-D, before any stone processing has begun.

The marketing power of this system will differentiate you from other fabricators in your market!

Reviews

The Pathfinder enabled us to get the vein matching just right to make multiple slabs for a large kitchen backsplash look like one solid block from the quarry.

The Pathfinder™ system allows you to vein match with an extremely high level of precision. Without it, you could spend hours moving pieces around trying to line it all up, but with it you could test out 30 scenarios in three minutes right on the computer.

Before I had Slabsmith, I was manually trying to keep track of the partial slabs that I had in inventory. Now, with Slabsmith and the Pathfinder, I know exactly what my partial slabs are [stone type and size] and am able to use these partial slabs for different jobs. This has had a huge impact on my material costs!
