Lithoz CeraFab System S320 vs StoneFlower StoneFlower 4.0
Technical comparison · 3D printing with clay & ceramics
Lithoz CeraFab System S320 and StoneFlower 4.0 both work with ceramics, but through different technologies: Lithoz uses LCM photopolymerization, StoneFlower uses G-code extrusion on Duet 6HC electronics. Lithoz's price isn't public; the StoneFlower costs €5439.

| Software notes | The system uses proprietary Lithoz software for file preparation and print process management. The firmware is integrated and optimized exclusively for LCM technology, ensuring precise control of light exposure parameters. It is not compatible with standard open-source slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, requiring the use of a dedicated suite for support management and thermal shrinkage compensation. | The firmware is based on the Duet 6HC electronics, compatible with the G-code standard, which allows the use of widely used slicers such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Slic3r, and SuperSlicer. This open architecture gives the user complete control over extrusion parameters and print profiles, avoiding the restrictions typical of closed proprietary software. |
The differences that matter
- Build area: StoneFlower 4.0 500×500 mm vs 246×130 mm on the Lithoz — nearly 7 times larger.
- Technology: LCM photopolymerization on the Lithoz, standard G-code extrusion on the StoneFlower.
- Software: StoneFlower works with open slicers (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Slic3r, SuperSlicer); Lithoz requires its proprietary suite.
- Price: StoneFlower €5439, Lithoz undisclosed.
Which one to choose
Choose CeraFab System S320 if…
Pick the CeraFab System S320 if geometric detail matters more than volume: LCM technology targets precise technical parts (a declared 60 μm), even though the build area stays small at 246×130 mm.
Choose StoneFlower 4.0 if…
Pick the StoneFlower 4.0 if you need to print large clay or ceramic pieces: the build area reaches 500×500 mm, nearly 7 times the Lithoz's, and the Duet firmware accepts standard slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer with no proprietary software required.
