Custom Stone Fabrication
Fabrication turns drawings into physical stone, spanning nesting, cutting, assembly, carving and finishing. Hengsheng uses five-axis CNC for complex profiles and hand refinement for detail, so design intent is realised accurately in the finished piece.
Core Strengths
- Drawing-based nesting: boards laid out to the fabrication drawing, balancing yield against veining direction.
- Complex and curved work: five-axis CNC at ±0.05mm handles mouldings, curves and three-dimensional elements.
- Mosaic and carving: bookmatch, grain-match and mosaic assembly, plus relief, openwork and carved detail.
- Surface finishes: polish, hone, antique, bush-hammered, sandblasted and flamed among others.
Key Figures
Service Process
- Drawing review: dimensions, craft and lead time confirmed.
- Nesting and cutting: laid out by veining direction, numbered for cutting.
- CNC machining: complex and curved elements formed at high precision.
- Hand refinement: assembly, carving and edge details completed.
- QC and dispatch: inspected, coded and packed.
Applications
- Bespoke residential and hotel work
- Feature walls in commercial spaces
- Art pieces and display
Sustainability & Certification
Optimised nesting raises yield, with >85% waste utilisation and offcuts recycled into mosaics and aggregate.
Craft upgrades also reduce energy use and loss, with solar power covering over 80% of plant demand.
Deep Selection Guide
The key to custom stone is translating drawn lines into a workable fabrication method. For complex profiles, confirm the machining route and minimum tool radius first, so the design contains nothing unmachinable; for assemblies, agree joint widths and edge margins early. Approving a sample before batch fabrication avoids costly rework.
- Selection criteria：With 180+ direct-sourced quarries, European automated lines and 68 QC checkpoints, materials are assessed by stone type, specification and lead time.
- Specification & thickness：With 180+ direct-sourced quarries, European automated lines and 68 QC checkpoints, materials are assessed by stone type, specification and lead time.
- Acceptance & records：Every batch ships with test data and image records, traceable by batch code back to the quarry, with dimensional and gloss checks completed before dispatch.
- Sustainability：Traceable from quarry to factory, combining green extraction with recycling.
Hengsheng manages the full chain from quarry-direct sourcing, smart manufacturing, global delivery and on-site installation. The advantage lies not in a single product but in connecting selection, fabrication, QC and delivery into an auditable loop, giving project teams clear assurance on programme, quality and compliance.
FAQ
- Can you fabricate to drawings?
- Yes — nested and cut to the fabrication drawing, then coded for dispatch.
- What precision do complex profiles reach?
- Five-axis CNC holds ±0.05mm.
