Our technology

The machines behind every countertop

Every job runs on a digital workflow, from a laser template in your kitchen to computer-guided saws and waterjets in our shop, with optional slab scanning so you can see your layout before we cut.

From template to finished countertop in five steps

STEP 1

Laser template

LT3D captures your cabinets in 3D.

STEP 2

Scan the slab

For an added fee, the D2 slab scanner photographs your real slab.

STEP 3

Lay it out together

We slab match your kitchen in Horus Match.

STEP 4

Cut

Breton, Baca and Northwood cut to the exact file.

STEP 5

Finish

Edges are profiled, polished and checked by hand.

LT3D Laser Templator & LT3 Raptor

Our templater sets the LT3D on a tripod in your kitchen and captures every wall, corner and cabinet edge with a laser, in 3D. LT3 Raptor software turns those points into an exact digital template, so there are no plywood strips or hand measurements to misread.

D2 IRIS Scanner 12K & Horus Match

For an added fee, we photograph your actual slab in high resolution and true color before we cut. Then we slab match in Horus Match, laying your digital template over that image so you can see exactly where veins, seams and color shifts land on your kitchen before a single cut.

CNC bridge saw

Breton Genya

A precision CNC bridge saw from Breton, the Italian stone-machinery maker. It is the machine we use for mitered edges, the clean angled joints behind our waterfall islands and thick mitered edges, and it can also mill and hone stone.

Baca Robo SawJet 2.0

A Baca Robo SawJet 2.0: a KUKA robot arm carrying both a saw and a high-pressure waterjet. The saw makes the straight cuts, and the waterjet cuts sink openings, curves and radiuses, so each piece comes out matching the digital template.

Northwood RSJ400L Robotic Sawjet

A Northwood RSJ400L Robotic Sawjet, a second saw-and-waterjet cutting cell. It cuts straight runs with the saw and uses the waterjet for sink openings, curves and tight shapes, which adds capacity so large jobs keep moving.

Installation

Vacuum slab lifter

For tall and heavy pieces like full-height backsplashes, stone walls and large islands, our remote-controlled vacuum lifter grips the slab with suction cups, then lifts, tilts and sets it in place. It lets us place big pieces precisely and safely, without chipping edges or straining the crew.
