Carmelite Monks use CNC machines to carve Gothic stone details for new church
The Carmelite Monks are employing computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, fitted with diamond-tipped blades and milling bits, to carve ornate Gothic stonework for their church construction. The monks program the coordinates themselves, using the technology to produce intricate pinnacles and details that traditionally required months of hand-carving by skilled artisans.
