Led by co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Jonathan Umscheid, the new division aims to formalize the company’s iterative development process. By embedding agentic workflows directly into the software, Stratus intends to automate manual assembly tasks across plumbing, electrical, and sheet metal trades. The initial experimental release, titled Agentic Spooling, features three distinct components: an Assembly Matcher for cloning modeled structures, an Assembly Designer for applying constraints, and an Assembly Agent that utilizes machine learning to predict new assemblies.

Stratus Debuts Labs Arm to Accelerate AI-Driven Fabrication Tools
At the Innovate 2026 conference in Seattle, digital fabrication platform Stratus unveiled Stratus Labs, a dedicated innovation division focused on agentic AI. The company simultaneously launched its inaugural suite of experimental tools, including automated spooling capabilities and a new server protocol designed to grant AI direct access to proprietary workflow data.
Beyond these specific tools, Stratus introduced a Big Data MCP Server. This experiment allows customers to integrate their own workflows with the platform’s underlying data. According to CEO Jake Olsen, the initiative is designed to match the current velocity of software development, moving beyond roadmap projections to deliver usable, testable tools to contractors immediately. Customers can access these features in an experimental environment by request, with live demonstrations currently underway at the Seattle event.
