When it comes to countertops, craftsmanship has always been essential. But in today’s world, precision fabrication requires more than skilled hands — it requires advanced technology working alongside experienced professionals.
At McDermott Top Shop, we combine decades of craftsmanship with cutting-edge fabrication equipment to ensure every project is completed with accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. From digital templating to robotic cutting systems, our investment in technology helps us deliver results that meet the expectations of builders, designers, and homeowners across the Midwest.
Digital Templating: The First Step Toward Precision
Every successful countertop installation begins with accurate measurements. Using digital templating technology, our team captures precise dimensions directly from the jobsite. These measurements are transferred into our production system, allowing us to design countertops that fit perfectly the first time.
This process eliminates guesswork, improves accuracy, and helps keep projects moving forward without delays.
BACA Systems’ M240 Series RoboSawJet: Powerful, Precise Stone Fabrication
At the heart of our fabrication process is the BACA M240 Series RoboSawJet, a high-performance cutting system designed specifically for stone fabrication. This advanced machine combines saw cutting and waterjet technology, allowing our team to process natural stone, quartz, and porcelain surfaces with exceptional precision.
The M240 provides several advantages that support both efficiency and craftsmanship:
Integrated saw and waterjet cutting for versatile fabrication capabilities
High-speed cutting performance that improves production efficiency
Precision edge cutting and intricate shape capability for complex designs
Reduced material waste through optimized cutting patterns
Automated workflows that increase consistency across every project
This technology allows our team to process slabs quickly while maintaining the precision required for tight seams, accurate sink cutouts, and custom edge profiles. The result is countertops that fit properly, install smoothly, and perform reliably.
D2 Iris Slab Scanner: Visualizing Your Countertop Before Production
Another key part of our digital workflow is the D2 Iris Slab Scanner. This technology allows our team to scan slabs before fabrication so the actual color and pattern of the selected material can be incorporated into the digital drawings.
This means that builders, designers, and homeowners can preview how the material will appear within the countertop design before it moves into production.
Benefits of slab scanning include:
Accurate representation of the material pattern within project drawings
Better planning of seams and layout
Clear visual approval before fabrication begins
Improved communication between fabricators, designers, and customers
By integrating the material image directly into the design drawings, we help ensure that the finished installation matches the intended design vision.
Technology That Supports Our Craft
While advanced machines play an important role in modern fabrication, the technology only works because of the experienced people behind it. At McDermott Top Shop, our team combines decades of stone fabrication expertise with modern tools that help us work more efficiently and more accurately.
This combination allows us to deliver results that builders, designers, and homeowners can depend on.
The McDermott Standard
For more than 30 years, McDermott Top Shop has been committed to investing in the tools, people, and processes that make our work better. From digital templating to advanced fabrication systems, every improvement is designed to provide better results for the partners who trust us with their projects.
Every countertop we fabricate reflects that commitment.
