PROGRESS is a computer controlled carving machine which combines the reliability and speed of an automated production with the ability to duplicate the complicated manual movements of the sculpture operations. All the operations to be performed are guided by messages on color video and are available in Italian, English, French and Spanish. The programming process can be interrupted. After the data storage, the production of the pieces takes place automatically. The rotation of the motor-holder beam for the use of the second tool is also automatic. The speed of the reproduction process can be increased compared to the original working operation. The operator's fatigue is completely eliminated.
