Breton SHAPEMILL: the most popular stone machining centre amongst artists

Hello,
Today I’d like to show you a gallery of photos that speak for themselves.
They are “artistic” photos showing different workpieces produced by the Shapemill, a Breton machining centre with 5 interpolated axes: the ideal machine for producing columns, statues, bath tubs, vases, banisters and other architectural components of marble or granite.
Click on the photos to enter the “Shapemill” gallery where you will find  many other pictures: your comments will be greatly welcomed. Thank you! 
Sergio Prior

Breton Smart-Cut 800 - CNC bridge saw for concrete panels big dimension

Breton has produced Smart-Cut S/NC 800, a CNC bridge saw with 5 interpolated axes, specially designed for customers producing large concrete panels.

 

 

 

 

The "Y" axis travel is longer than 18 metres, therefore it is possible to machine large panels.

  

Using Smart-Cut S/NC 800, it is possible to execute holes for windows, engravings, chamfers, trimmings and other machining operations required by the market.

  

Breton bridge saw can manage two different work benches: while workpieces are machined on one bench, it is possible to unload the processed material and load the infeed material on the other, the whole in accordance with the safety regulations in force.

 

 

 

You can see the machine equipped with one work bench here under.

BretonLathe: software for the CAD/CAM programming of and turning on marble and granite

BretonLathe is a CAD/CAM software for the execution of complex marble and granite workpieces using a lathe on Breton turning centres Shapemill, ContourFive and Smart-Cut 800 with up to 6 axes.  

Besides the specific functions of the CAD/CAM software with which it is paired, this software allows to carry out also the following major functions:

•    execution of columns in general, which may be cylindrical, conical or sculpted.

 

 

•    execution of bases and capitals of cylindrical columns.

•    execution of bas-reliefs on columns.

•    execution of statues.

 

•    execution of linear grooves on cylindrical, conical or sculpted surfaces.

•    profiling, milling and hollowing out on pieces with curvilinear, spiral, cylindrical, conical or sculpted shape, using a miller and saw blade.

 

•    3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts on surfaces with multiple shapes.

 

The software operates in a Windows environment, is easy-to-understand and user-friendly.

N.B. "BretonLathe" can be paired with "BretonSmartCam EVOLUTION, FRAME and MODELLING" on machine equipped with the lathe.
N.B. The software features may be limited by the technological and operational characteristics of the machine.

SHAPEMILL: the most popular masons' choice

It's stunning to see what can be done using the Shapemill, Breton CNC machining centre with 5 interpolated axes.

Starting from a marble block, our customer  MARGRAF from Chiampo (Vicenza) produced a twisted column housing a ball.

You may see the working sequence here below.
