Industrial technology

From the sensor to the finished part.

Data Frontier is an engineering company. We build IoT and satellite telemetry, CAM software for CNC machining and a library of 3D models tested on our own print farm, and we run the workshop that machines, casts and prints real parts.

Products

Three products, one engineering team.

Each product grew out of something we needed in our own operation first: monitoring machines and remote sites, programming our CNCs, and printing parts that sell.

IoT platform

Remote monitoring for farms, water and industry, including sites with no cellular coverage. Devices report to one cloud dashboard.

  • Satellite, NB-IoT (terrestrial and satellite NTN), 4G and LoRa connectivity
  • 4G and LoRa gateways designed in-house
  • History time-stamped at the event, e-mail and WhatsApp alerts when a reading changes level
  • Predictive maintenance: vibration and temperature on machines
  • Users and permissions per device, audit trail, daily backup

Early access

Data Frontier CAM

CAM for CNC machining that runs in the browser: open the part, build the operations, simulate the cut and export G-code for your controller.

  • STL and STEP input; from STEP, holes come out with exact center and diameter
  • 3-axis milling: facing, 2.5D contour, pocket and drilling, 3D roughing and finishing
  • Material-removal simulation and machine-limit checks before export
  • G-code post-processors for GRBL and DDCS (Fanuc-style) controllers
  • Optional AI copilot that proposes a machining program for you to review

Lathe and FDM support are on the roadmap.

Subscription

STL Prime

A subscription library of 3D-printable models, each one printed and tested on our own farm before it is published.

  • Commercial license on every plan: sell the parts you print
  • STL and 3MF files with print profiles for Bambu Lab, Prusa and Creality
  • 3D preview before you download

Part of the IoT platform

Program microcontrollers from the browser, with blocks.

The platform includes a block-based IDE: you snap together steps instead of writing code, and the IDE writes the code for you. Nothing to install and no account needed.

  • ESP32: generates MicroPython and sends it to the board over USB with Web Serial (Chrome or Edge on desktop)
  • Arduino Nano: generates the C++ sketch to upload with the Arduino IDE
  • Built first for our own robot arm: servos, ultrasonic sensor, joystick and buzzer

Engineering know-how

Software written by people who make parts.

Behind the products is a workshop. The CAM software is developed next to the CNC machines we build and run; the 3D models are printed on our farm; the IoT hardware monitors our own machines.

Part being turned on a CNC lathe

Precision machining

Micro-machining below 1 mm and special materials such as titanium, stainless steel and PEEK.

Molten metal poured into a mold

Casting & heat treatment

Six furnaces, lost-wax investment casting from 3D-printed patterns, controlled heat-treatment cycles.

3D printers in operation

3D printing

A print farm and our own resins and filaments, from prototype to small series.

Electronics workbench

Electronics & firmware

Boards, firmware, cellular and satellite links, and the cloud they report to.

Industrial CNC machine

CNC machines & retrofit

We build CNC machines, use them in our own shop and retrofit older ones with new controls and drives.

Welder working on a steel structure

Fabrication

Machine bases, brackets and welded assemblies, aligned and ready to mount.

Manufacturing is done at our workshop in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

How we work

From concept to delivery, with no middlemen.

01

Design

Engineering and design: 3D modeling, rapid prototyping and technical validation before anything goes to production.

02

System

The brain that runs it: firmware, IoT and satellite connectivity, automation and remote monitoring.

03

Material

Resins, filaments and machined components, with quality controlled from the source to the final product.

The engineer who quotes is the engineer who builds

No sales layer between the promise and the delivery.

We use what we sell

Machines, materials and software run in our own operation first.

Status in plain sight

We say what is ready and what is still coming. We don't sell what doesn't exist.

Have a project, a machine or a site to monitor?

Tell us the problem, not the solution. We'll say whether one of our products fits, and if it isn't for us, we'll say so.
