Introduction
The construction stone industry is one of the strategic industries in the world and Iran, which has experienced a significant transformation in recent years with the growth of technology and the introduction of modern equipment. Today, stone extraction and processing is no longer just a traditional activity, but with the help of smart machinery and modern technologies, the efficiency, precision, and quality of production have been upgraded to a global level.
New technologies in stone extraction
- Diamond Wire Sawing Methods
- Alternative to traditional explosive methods
- Reducing waste and breakage of blocks
- Increased safety and the ability to mine larger and healthier blocks
- Drilling and cutting with CNC machines and numerical control
- Ability to precisely adjust cuts based on 3D designs
- Greater speed and reduced human error
- Automation and artificial intelligence in mines
- Real-time monitoring of extraction with sensors

International examples
- Italy (Carrara): Extensive use of diamond wire and intelligent mine management systems.
- Greece (Thassos): Using modern processing lines to produce luxury slabs.
- China and India: Investment in CNC machinery and nanocoatings for export.
Iran’s position
Iran has more than ۶۰ billion tons of decorative stone reserves and an unparalleled variety in color and design. Although some mines still operate using traditional methods, in recent years the introduction of modern machinery and processing technologies has brought large mines such as Dehbid, Mahallat, and Harsin closer to global competition.
