Production line and factory setup overview
Produces CNC-carved Afghan-stone templates, carving masters, architectural patterns and repeatable guide forms through digital scanning/drawing, stone selection, fixturing, CNC routing, hand finish, dimensional check and protected packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one architectural stone family such as panels, borders, calligraphy or repeated ornaments. Confirm stone type and grain, blank size, cutter route, relief depth, mounting, dust/water control, finish sample and intended replication method before machining.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Buyer requirement and site-data review
- Engineering/design and material selection
- Equipment manufacture or tool preparation
- Installation, alignment and utility connection
- Representative operating trial
- Output, quality and safety inspection
- Documentation, training and release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Confirm the precise customer product, target machine or plant flow before procurement.
- Approve representative trials, measured outputs and critical safety/quality requirements before release.
- Document specifications, operating settings, inspections and maintenance responsibilities.
- CNC stone-carving templates and masters - Stone type, blank dimensions, approved drawing or scan, relief depth, cutter route, tolerances, finish, mounting and repeat-use requirement - Stone workshops, mosques and heritage projects, facade contractors, monument makers and decorative-product firms
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| 3D/CAD preparation station | Creates carveable drawing and toolpaths | Relief and scale |
| Stone CNC router | Roughs and finishes the master | Working area and spindle |
| Vacuum/fixture table | Secures stone blanks | Safe repeat positioning |
| Hand-finish/polish bench | Refines carved detail | Surface sample |
| Measurement and packing station | Checks and protects master | Dimension and edge safety |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Selected Afghan marble/limestone/soapstone as proven, sacrificial backing, cutters, coolant/water where used, abrasives, sealers, anchors and packing
- Stable three-phase electricity, protected material/finished-product storage, calibrated quality-control instruments and appropriate process ventilation
- Documented maintenance, critical spares, site safety procedures and product-specific environmental controls
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| 3D/CAD, CNC stone router and fixturing | US$18k-70k | Small/medium work envelope |
| Dust/water control, finish and measurement | US$7k-28k | Safety and quality scope |
| Cutters, stone samples and setup | US$3k-12k | Design-specific trials |
| Indicative entry total | US$28k-110k | Building, large bridge saw and stone inventory excluded |
