01
Lines Sonic Core Technology
Sonic operates the most advanced LSAM system (designed & patented by Lines) combining high deposition speeds, high & dynamically controlled flow rates, and fine printing resolutions. Think about a high-flow screw extrusion system embed in a ridiculously compact printing head, building parts at 2 000mm/s.

Sonic Core Technology is fully monitored by Lines CNC Engine delivering unparallel production rates, at unrivaled quality.
02
Lines Main Data Engine
Proprietary Live Computing kernel brings to life real-time process parameters updates based on thermography and rheological data.

Strong correlations in production data are constantly computed enabling automatic warpage detection and improving build integrity by live monitoring CNC parameters.
03
Lines Batch Quality Monitoring
MRP integration connectivity can be established letting you plan resources and manage machine fleets in full efficiency without compromising privacy.

Thanks to that, you can monitor your production KPI's and supervision essentials at a glance on a dashboard: OEE, quality chart, regulatory compliance.

Timeseries analysis can help you take action to maintain process performance based on production history datasets gathered from each machine sensor.
04
Lines Open Materials Platform
Sonic flows thanks to thermoplastics in the form of raw pellets or recycled flakes providing our customers with a proven, reliable, and cost-effective supply chain.

Lines collaborates closely with a network of material suppliers to expand a portfolio of pre-qualified materials in an open approach among PP • PPc • PPm30 • PPgf30 • PETg • rPETGgf20 • PCgf30 • PC (cfr) • PCcf40 • ABSgf15 • PCABS (en45 545-2)

Full parameters range optimization
Sonic runs on top of Lines CNC Engine. Its kernel constantly look for maximum path speed while maintaining outstanding build quality by adjusting deposition parameters in real-time.

Results, most prints are ran at deposition velocities greater than 1m/s.

Prior to Gcode reading, Lines Upstream post-processor ensures that the machine executes the code as intended by the user. Plenty of parameters are editable - Lines Launchpad & Training team is here to help!
Lines CNC Engine post-processor.
Wide CAM support
Sonic accepts ISO Gcode, with the Lines touch. The supplied post-processor converts code from most CAM / Trajectory planning softwares.
