Whilst all bell manufacturing operations are still carried out by the skilled hands of the workers, the Cornille-Havard foundry decided to innovate by tracing the wooden or brass templates using computers. This is particularly useful when recasting a damaged bell to match the original, as well as for custom orders. Computer-assisted design (CAD) allows to conceive the correct size of the template which will then be cut by laser. The alliance of the most advanced technology with tradition.
