Cracks in blocks during the extraction of natural stones represent a significant challenge for the ornamental stone industry. These damages can lead to considerable financial losses, as they compromise the quality and integrity of the material, reducing its commercial value and increasing operational costs. The main causes of cracks include failures in quarry planning, improper use of equipment, as well as geological characteristics inherent to the stone, such as natural fractures or internal stresses. Lack of proper maintenance of machinery can also contribute to inaccurate cuts and unnecessary impacts. To mitigate these issues, it is essential to invest in advanced technologies, such as 3D scanners for precise quarry mapping and more efficient cutting systems. Additionally, training teams to identify potential problem areas before extraction can prevent significant losses. Ultimately, minimizing cracks not only preserves the quality of the final product but also promotes a more su...
