Laser Cutting Application in Shipbuilding Boosting Precision, Cost-Efficiency, and Sustainability
The global shipbuilding industry faces three key challenges: shorter delivery cycles, rising material costs, and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. To address these challenges, leading shipyards have begun adopting laser cutting technology on a large scale. From luxury yacht manufacturers in Europe to commercial ship production hubs in Southeast Asia, laser cutting machines are redefining the boundaries of shipbuilding. Part 1: Technological Advantages of Laser Cutting – Why the Shipbuilding Industry Needs It 1. Ultra-Precision and Complex Shape ProcessingLaser cutting machines can achieve ±0.1mm cutting accuracy, making them ideal for complex shipbuilding needs, such as hull curves, pipe openings, and intricate geometric shapes.Case Study: Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea uses a […]
