Revolutionizing the Stone Industry
with Technology

At Granite & Marble Specialties, we believe that technology is essential to creating the highest quality stone products. We use a variety of state-of-the-art technologies in our fabrication process, from computerized design and cutting to laser polishing and edge profiling. This allows us to achieve a level of precision and accuracy that is simply not possible with traditional methods.

Here are some of the specific ways we use technology at Granite & Marble Specialties:

  • Computerized design (CAD): We use CAD software to create precise digital templates for countertops, backsplashes, and other stone products. This allows us to visualize the finished product and make any necessary adjustments before fabrication begins.
  • Computerized numerical control (CNC): Our CNC machines use CAD templates to cut and shape your stone products with incredible accuracy and precision. This ensures that your pieces will fit perfectly together and create a seamless finish.
  • Waterjet cutting: Waterjet cutting is a state-of-the-art technology that uses a high-pressure jet of water to cut through stone with great precision. We use waterjet cutting to create intricate designs and patterns that would be impossible to achieve with traditional methods.
  • Laser polishing: Laser polishing is a new and innovative technology that uses lasers to polish stone to a high shine. This process is much faster and more efficient than traditional polishing methods, and it produces a superior finish.
  • Edge profiling: Edge profiling is the process of shaping the edges of your stone countertops and other products. We offer a variety of edge profiles to choose from, and our CNC machines can create even the most complex profiles with ease.

Robo SawJet

BACA Systems Robo SawJet is a high-production dual table SawJet that integrates both a high-pressure abrasive waterjet and a 20HP direct-drive saw. It has a Dual Table System which means we double our production, allowing us to save 20% on material and 70% on production time. In the end, it saves our customers time and money.

LTZ horizontal rectilinear

The high-performance and reliable LTZ horizontal rectilinear is the top of the line technology for polishing stone edges. The machine is equipped with diamond grinding wheels and a micro oscillation system that allow for precise and efficient polishing and smoothing abrasive edges.

Miter Excel

Accurate cuts are achieved due to the fixed 45º angle of the cutting blade and the straight edge system. A range of material thicknesses and hardness are accommodated with less chipping and cut deflection because of the small diameter continuous ring diamond tipped blade and its variable speed control.

SKEMA modern monobloc bridge saw

The SKEMA modern monobloc bridge saw features three powered axes travelling on steel guideways with revolving spheres. The bridge saw has a laser that is positioned on the blade guard to indicate the cut line, enabling accuracy before cuts are made. The profile program communicates directly with our CAD software to allow the most precise fabrication.

TITAN® CNC Fab Center

The TITAN® Fab Center combines efficient and accurate cutting, shaping, and polishing capabilities into one machine. It uses a 24 HP/10,000 RPM direct drive spindle and a robust saw that is able to cut through material at 96 inches/minute. Edges are cut with exact precision, saving us the hassle of refining cut pieces while saving our customers time and money.

VeinMatch

VeinMatch is a tool built into our Robo SawJet that our technicians use to match veins from different parts of the same slab without utilizing a second slab. It allows us not to compromise the material flow or the final look for the customer. The process of matching two pieces of stone to form a seam is rather challenging. In the past, this can only be done by eye and physically manuevering the pieces. However, VeinMatch provides a digital alternative, allowing our technicians to visualize and manipulate the patterns digitally. This, in turn, saves our customer money, time, and material.
