It’s easy to be misled into thinking of the creation of a digital slab. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest difference between a nice picture of a slab, and a Slabsmith digital slab is accuracy.
When a Slabsmith photo station is calibrated using Slabsmith’s calibration routines, the resulting digital slab is accurate dimensionally to a millimeter or less. Virtually all distortions that result from the camera position are eliminated.
Along with the accuracies mentioned above, each digital slab includes a complete record of all its important properties. This includes common things like the material name, lot number, thickness, and inventory ID.
Slabsmith assures that the color of the slab is accurate and consistent from slab to slab. Even small color variations can be seen during the layout process when properly calibrated. It’s color reproduction allows you to see the subtlest of color variations at seams even when used with ‘uniform colored’ quartz products!
When a digital slab is created it is immediately saved into Slabsmith’s SQL database. This provides the ability for anyone in your company to easily locate and view the slabs in your inventory based on any of the properties of the slab. You can even search for remnants of a particular size rectangle or even a particular size ’L’ shape.
It’s hard to overstate the benefits Slabsmith provides as a direct result of being able to easily and accurately visually layout a job on digital slabs.
