Our Process
WE ARE THE ONLY SHOP IN THE TRI-COUNTY REGION THAT UTILIZES A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING TECHNOLOGIES THROUGHOUT OUR DESIGN AND FABRICATION PROCESS.
Scheduling Software
Digital Templates
Industry-specific project management software is used for scheduling each step of our process. From sign up and material ordering to fabrication and reliable installation scheduling, our process tracks each step for accountability. It replaces traditional paper calendar systems with a digital platform that improves efficiency, organization, and communication amongst team members.
Our digital templating device captures precise measurements within ±0.1 mm. It’s flexible, transportable nature enables a faster, more accurate templating process no matter the surface or space. Curves, scribes, notches and insets are all possible when measured digitally minimizing human errors associated with manual templating.
Photographic Layouts
The Iris Scanner is the highest quality slab scanner in the market, producing 12k resolution imaging. In less than twenty seconds, the vertical scanner makes two passes across the slab, identifying all details and characteristics, while yielding a natural image. This image is used to produce a layout for Customer Approval prior to cutting.
CNC Machinery
Our CNC Machine cuts and shapes material with extreme accuracy and efficiency. Automating cutouts such as sinks and holes, produces consistent results while reducing strain injuries on our craftsmen from repetitive, manual processes. This technology also allows for creativity and consistency with shaping, milling, engraving, and edge polishing.
3D Rendering
Along with a 2D layout, we utilize a 3D layout software for a full visualization of your material, nested in your environment. A 3D rendering proves itself as a powerful tool in seeing exactly how your material will look before it is installed, with the flexibility of arranging the layout to your liking. This technology also allows for precise vein matching.
Waterjet Cutting
The waterjet saw utilizes extreme water pressure and small abrasives, yielding a dust-free cutting process, while keeping your material cool. When handling materials such as quartz (containing a high crystalline silica content), it is imperative to the health of our craftsmen, and the environment, that this material does not become airborne. By using water/ ‘wet-cutting’, any toxic material that would be airborne is instead turned into a mud in process, and drained appropriately.
