New Technology at Artelye

Artelye CNC Technology

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.

Artelye Marble and Granite. is aware of the endless possibilities that computerized equipment gives us. We are equipped with the state of art Northwood SW138 which allows us to create any shape we want. Certain designs done by hand take days, but with the new machine we can do an ogee edge in a matter of hours. The benefits of the Northwood SW138 give us the ability to design right on the computer. Artelye Marble And Granite will continue to produce countertops, tables and fireplace on the new system. We feel that the company has to move forward with the times and not be afraid of computers, as some traditional shops may be.

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. Inevitably the equipment and programs that we are awed by today will soon become standard in the fabrication shops of tomorrow.
