A Carmelite community in Wyoming describes using five-axis CNC machines to carve stone for its Gothic monastery. The workflow converts 3D designs into toolpaths and uses diamond tools and cooling water for repeated cuts. The community says some lengthy manual processes became much faster, but people still handle workholding, programming, monitoring and finishing. An incorrectly programmed job also damaged stone, illustrating that the benefits of automation depend on sound design and verification rather than unattended machinery alone.
