Contourfive is a CNC machining center with five interpolated axes for machining pieces in marble, granite, sandstone, limestone, engineered stone and stone in general. Thanks to its 5 axes, it is suitable for shaping, contouring, sawing and turning operations.

Contourfive is the ideal machine for architectural and funerary art and to perform machining requiring deep excavation; it therefore offers users the possibility to perform different and complex operations that would otherwise require several machines. Here you can find an example of the machine processing a block of black granite and transforming it into a statue.

Christopher le Brun’s marble ‘Maro’ wing sculpture debuts at Chatsworth House

Lapicida has collaborated with an increasingly diverse collection of designers and artists to create one-off pieces that have attracted international acclaim. In the latest collaboration, Lapicida has realized ‘Maro’ a sculpture for Christopher le Brun.
Christopher le Brun is a painter, sculptor, printmaker and the 26th President of the Royal Academy. As Maro demonstrates, much of his recent work has a strong attachment to the imagery and emotional address of Romanticism and Symbolism.

‘Maro’ is a challenging piece in terms of both its design and production. From Lapicida’s point of view, the Breton CNC Shapemill was the one technology capable of sculpting this majestic 2.5-tonne, 5-metre high wing.

Created in five pieces, 25 days of sculpting by the CNC shaping mills computer-controlled diamond tipped drill head were required to form Maro. A further 6 weeks of hand-finishing by two of Lapicida’s expert craftsmen gave this impressive sculpture the perfect finish that is immediately apparent on viewing.

The bridge saw SMART-CUT S/NC 550 OPTIMA is the ideal CNC cutting centre for kitchen top producers: with interpolated axes, equipped with rotating head and fixed work bench, designed to perform multiple machining operations which would otherwise require several machines, such as: cutting of slabs, shaping and dishing out of small blocks, engraving of inscriptions, drilling, etc. using either the diamond disc or the drills.

Equipped with a vacuum cup pick-and-place system, the machine handles the cut pieces thus optimizing the slab cutting and moves them in order to execute routings on their back-face(rodding) where the reinforcing rods will be cemented.

On request, the work bench can be equipped with a tilting top; in the bridge saw S/NC 550B OPTIMA version, the bench is equipped with a motorized conveyor belt so as to automate the loading and unloading operations.

Breton COMBICUT

Combined disk and Waterjet cutting centre for the production of cut to size slabs.

Combicut combines and alternates the cutting with disk and Waterjet according to preset programs and/or at will: this al-lows to optimize cuts thus ensuring waste minimization (there is no need to move the slab or the workpieces).

Key success factors of Breton Shapemill 5-axis machining centre:
– sturdiness and machining precision are perfectly matched
– very large work bench enabling to load the workpieces even when the machine is unattended overnight and during the weekends
– lathe with interpolated axes to perform complex shaping operations
– top quality electronic and mechanical components
– excellent after-sales service both in terms of repairs and response time
– the machine is working 22 hours a day, therefore it is possible to accept sizeable orders
– thanks to its flexibility in changing type of machining, the machine productivity is excellent even when non-standard workpieces are to be produced.
