So, imagine my surprise when Isaac showed up in this cute little car, with nothing but a suitcase to create out granite templates.
Can you see the red dot in the middle of the wall? |
This translated into this cool electronic template of our soon to be manufactured countertop. Isaac takes the CAD model and uploads it into AutoCad. This gets fed into their CNC machines at their fabrication plant. They use a combination of diamond blades and high pressure water jets to cut the dimensions and then create the eased edge of our design.
Very cool, very fast and very efficient!
How does that impact their business? Well, they're growing double digits each year. They can manufacture 1600 square feet of countertop A DAY. How does that work in the real world? Well, our kitchen uses 28 square feet, this means they can create 57 kitchens every single day. Amazing productivity!
We'll get our countertops in about 10 days. Can't wait to see them installed!

Wow! Where is their fabrication plant? Are they local?
ReplyDeleteI believe the parent company is in Quebec City, but the USA division is headquartered in Vermont. They service all of New England and you can order them through Home Depot.
DeleteVery cool- my husband would probably love that job

Sure, can you send me your email address (I won't publish it!). Laurel
DeleteThey spend hours scribing them against the wall and then take them back to their manufacturing site.
