As with every industry, the advent of computer technology promises to revolutionize the way stone is worked and designed. Creating a design in stone today can be as easy as taking a pattern from a computer file and instructing the computer to follow it for whatever type of stone the client requested. Creating new patterns is easier as well, with the ability to preview what a design will look like before a cut has been made.
Traditional fabrication machines are getting rejuvenated by the computer revolution. Various bridge saws, milling and routing machines are CNC-controlled and run by CAD/CAM programs. Many projects are becoming more intricate with the availability of computer-assisted design and manufacturing.
Computerized design and fabrication will not only allow increased production and faster fabrication but will enable the stone industry to provide customers with intricate designs and custom-created artwork.
