A high-end residence in Aspen required a contoured marble surround with a custom mantel shelf. Using Proliner and LT-2D3D scans, we captured every rebate, angled return, and shelf overhang. The fabricator cut and installed the marble surround flawlessly—no on-site adjustments and a perfect fit on the first try.
