When selecting a memorial, which carving style should you consider for the headstone?

1. Shadow Carving Technique

Shadow carving, or Impact Etching, engraves high-contrast images on tombstones by varying carving depths. Unlike laser engraving, it carves directly into granite for lasting durability. Though costly and time-consuming, it offers superior detail but depends on light reflection for clarity.

2. Sandblasting Carving Technology

Sandblasting carving is a traditional tombstone engraving method that uses high-pressure air to spray abrasive materials, etching text or patterns through templates. It is ideal for large inscriptions and decorations, offering moderate depth and durability. However, it cannot engrave complex portraits or gradients and is limited to flat surfaces.

3. CNC Carving Technology

CNC engraving uses computer-controlled machines with diamond cutters for precise tombstone carvings, ideal for text and intricate patterns. It offers higher accuracy than sandblasting, ensures uniform results, and supports mass production with adjustable engraving depth. However, it has high equipment costs, may take longer for complex designs, and is unsuitable for some stone types.
