Colmar, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2010 -- Akropolis Marble & Granite of Southeast Pennsylvania has been featured in the August 2010 issue of Stone World Magazine. “A lot of hard work and technical expertise goes into making these intricate projects, and we’re very pleased that Stone World Magazine wanted to write about it.” Said Andy Kamaratos, owner of Akropolis Marble & Granite.

Stone World Magazine is in its 26th year of print and is the recognized source of information regarding stone use in architecture and interior design, as well as stone production, distribution, installation and maintenance. They maintain their digital version at http://www.stoneworld.com.

“I think they just wanted to see the Robot cut granite” added Tom Bloh who’s in sales at Akropolis. “The Robot” refers to Akropolis’s most recent investment in technology that combines an industrial sized diamond saw with water jet technology. The first prototype machine was showcased 5 years ago, and less than two dozen USG Robotics Robo Cut twin table machines exist in the world. It allows Akropolis to cut both quickly and accurately, something that was impossible before saw/jet technology was invented.

The article also praises Akropolis on its accomplishments at the Dover Downs Casino, where they created a waterjet-cut floor design that included an enormous 93 foot diameter masterpiece with four subset medallions that were 70 feet apart. A total of 4,000 pieces were fabricated, and the project required no field cutting. “That job was really challenging, but proved the old adage “measure twice, cut once”, added Kamaratos. At approximately the size of a football field, the tip to tip variance is about 1/16”.
