Case Study: Artaic achieves 10x-100x faster mosaic production with SolidWorks

Artaic is Revolutionizing Mosaic Art Through Software and Robots

Artaic is a Boston-based company that is revolutionizing large-format mosaic art by automating design and fabrication. Facing the challenge of scaling a traditionally hand-crafted process to meet tight deadlines, reduce waste, and deliver custom, high-resolution mosaics, Artaic uses SolidWorks to design the robots and mechanical systems that drive their production.

Using SolidWorks to design its robots and an in-house CAD-to-tile workflow that converts images into one-inch tile patterns and checks inventory, Artaic fabricates mosaics in labeled one-square-foot sections for print-to-ship assembly. The SolidWorks-enabled solution yields a 10x–100x productivity improvement over hand fabrication, enabled installations to begin within 24 hours of fabrication in urgent cases, and minimizes waste while supporting projects for restaurants, hotels, cruise ships and private commissions.
