An overview of CNC stone carving technology, covering how computer numerical control machines are used to precisely cut and engrave stone materials for artistic and industrial applications.

Linus Ekenstam showcases the latest local version of PLY, a ramp and skatepark building tool, demonstrating the full workflow from component modeling, joists and construction details, materials and cut lists (including sheet layout and near-zero-waste optimization), to custom part joinery patterns, real-time time-lapse build guides, and exporting shop-ready PDFs, material CSVs, and SVGs that can be fed directly into a CNC. The tool emphasizes following real-world construction best practices and comes with a rich built-in library of preset components; it is still being refined and the team is recruiting beta testers.

The paper presents SAAC-JEPA, a schema-adaptive action-conditioned JEPA model for transferring predictive representations across CNC machines with partial sensor overlap, demonstrating that cross-machine adaptation requires distinct evaluation beyond source-domain accuracy.

This paper investigates federated learning for CNC tool wear prediction, showing that federated models achieve performance close to centralized learning and surpass local client baselines in distributed manufacturing environments.
