Technology

Monumental Labs is building an AI-powered robotic fabrication platform that bridges the workshop traditions of fine arts with cutting-edge technology to make magnificent sculpture and stone architecture accessible at scale. Our team is developing software and hardware to progressively automate stone fabrication and reduce costs up to 90%.

{ Vision }

With technology and craft, we can unleash a golden age of art and architecture. After decades of industrial efficiency overtaking aesthetic ambition, we believe robots and AI will empower artists and architects to bring radical and beautiful new visions to life quickly and affordably.

After starting with a single robot and stone carver in July 2023, Monumental Labs has grown to a team of over 19 designers, sculptors, fabricators, managers, and engineers. We're building a new workshop in New York City to house a dozen robots and dozens of artists and craftsmen.

With the infrastructure we’re bringing to market today, we will be able to build ornate classical structures on a mass scale, and to create extraordinary new architectural forms. We’re committed to reviving stone craft in America and the world by training a new generation of craftsmen and building a community of patrons and builders who value exceptional art and architecture.

Vision

{ Our Team }

We're reviving stone craftsmanship in America, using robots and AI to drive down costs, while training a new generation of craftsmen to turn stone into beautiful structures and fine art.
