Cutting Solutions for Ship Building

How do you stay ahead in the highly competitive and innovative shipbuilding industry? How can you increase your fabrication speed?

Today’s ship building market is highly demanding due to its constant innovation-driven character. Individual shipyards have their own specific construction methods. Manual cutting methods can no longer meet those increasing innovation and extreme accuracy requirements. In order to ensure superb cutting accuracy, full design freedom and optimal weld preparation shipbuilders choose to automate their cutting process.
