Cascava analyzes your stencil design as you draw, instantly identifying disconnected regions that would fall away during cutting. The app's connectivity solver runs continuously on your device, computing minimal bridge placements that anchor every floating island to the main structure.
Each bridge placement considers your specified width and layer count. The algorithm optimizes for structural integrity while preserving your design intent. You see total bridge length in millimeters and an integrity percentage that hits 100% when all pieces are properly anchored.
The live grid canvas supports geometric shapes, individual letters, photo tracing, and stamps. As you add elements, the island detection updates in real time. Adjust bridge parameters on the fly—width and layer controls respond immediately, recalculating the entire network without lag.
Floating pieces are identified instantly as you design. The solver highlights disconnected regions and computes optimal bridge placements without manual intervention.
Control bridge width and layer count with live preview. The algorithm recalculates the entire network immediately, showing you exactly how changes affect structural integrity.
Draw with geometric shapes, place individual letters, trace photos from your camera roll, or use stamps. All tools integrate with the connectivity solver seamlessly.
Track total bridge length in millimeters and monitor integrity percentage. Hit 100% when all pieces are properly anchored—no guesswork before cutting.
Create multi-layer cut files for two-color stencil projects. Adjust layer count and preview how bridges will hold each color layer independently.
Organize all your stencil projects in one place. Search by name, view island-and-bridge network maps, and export designs whenever you're ready to cut.
Cascava was built specifically for makers who work with stencil cutting equipment. The development team consulted with sign painters and screen printers to understand the exact pain points of floating island problems. Version 1.0.3 represents months of refinement to the bridge computation algorithm, ensuring accurate results across complex multi-layer designs.
