The advantages of 3D laser cutting machines for tubular profiles 

Architecture has always aimed towards beauty, art and wonder. To be achieved, these aspects represent a greater complexity of the artifacts, new ways of building and a continuous pushing towards technological innovation.

In modern steel structures, therefore, the choice to use 3D laser machines to produce structural components is dictated precisely by the need to make complex architectural projects feasible.

Today it is not uncommon to find many different processes on a single detail such as slots, holes, bevels and geometries cut with various shapes.

With traditional processes, creating such complex parts would require several dedicated systems and multiple operators, but with 3D laser cutting, they can be completed in a single step, without rework and with significantly superior precision and quality.

Furthermore, in the creation of structural joints, the cutting geometries necessary to create the joint  where pipes and beams connect can be extremely complex.

Added to this difficulty is welding which brings with it many problems in terms of processing times and quality of execution.

Thanks to 3D laser cutting it is possible not only to make the notches required by the geometry of the joints, but also to make the chamfers according to the correct inclination to guarantee the penetration of the welding filler material.

Using these innovative solutions for connecting pipes it is possible to significantly lighten the structure, saving  production costs and improving  sustainability.

Not only large structural elements but also machine tool frames, industrial vehicles, support structures for photovoltaic panels, generators, shelving and much more.

The use of 3D laser cutting allows the creation of couplings between tubes and male-female self-locking plates, with a degree of precision much higher than ones achievable with traditional processes, even in the presence of tubes with special cross sections.
