Roland Stika

It’s easy to see why these are among the best-loved pieces of equipment we sell. We frequently come across schools still getting regular and valuable use from quite elderly models even if they have upgraded to larger machines in other areas of the department. The Stika is a compact, child-friendly machine that still has the power to fascinate as it steadily cuts out children’s design work with a degree of precision that could never be achieved by hand.

Many primary schools have found a Stika to be an ideal and simple tool for pupils to take their first steps with genuine CAD/CAM activity. They work in just the same way as their bigger counterparts and can even be used for print-and-cut work by using the manual alignment tool provided with each machine. Being lighter in construction, Stikas will not cut card or plastics but will happily cope with the full range of vinyls and applied media including Cutronic Foil.

Two models are available and these differ only in their capacity so you will need to check the available sizes of media you are likely to use when making your choice.

Also Included - Free TechSoft Education Training Pack worth £55
The Training Pack gives you everything you need to get the machine out of the box and earning its keep in the shortest time possible. We have distilled key information into a series of tutorials that will guide you through setting-up, and then a series of projects that illustrate the full potential of the machine. Each pack contains a project CD, a booklet to guide you and a selection of materials. Completing the Training Pack is not onerous; it will provide a sample set of project ideas - some of which are shown below - and the confidence to develop your own ideas.
