NeoRen associe l’usinage robotisé à sept axes au savoir-faire d’artisans sculpteurs pour restaurer des monuments en pierre et créer des œuvres architecturales sur mesure. Son procédé commence par une conception numérique, accélère le dégrossissage avec des robots, puis confie les finitions à la main, notamment pour reproduire fidèlement des éléments historiques après scan 3D. L’entreprise présente cette alliance entre technologie et métier d’art comme une façon de faire renaître une industrie de la sculpture presque disparue depuis plus d’un siècle.
