One of the most common methods for making the best use of available material and reducing waste on Lasertube machines is nesting - an algorithm that optimizes cutting patterns based on the material loaded onto the Lasertube machine.

Greater flexibility in programming special profiles
May 4, 2026, 12:16:21 PM
Machine programming for laser cutting of tubes and metal profiles utilizes various automated processes converting 3D drawing provided by the customer to the finished part in just a few clicks. This is made possible by ArTube, our CAD/CAM programming software, which works in perfect harmony with our Lasertube systems and communicates the operations to be performed by the machine, preventing any internal collisions.
There are, however, metal profiles with more complex shapes that include flanges or other specific elements requiring greater attention during machining to prevent collisions between the laser head and the profile, or between the profile and other parts of the machine. These are known as special profiles.

3D structural BIM and other innovative technologies for construction
Dec 12, 2023, 6:19:00 PM
3D Structural BIM is the innovative technology that allows you to organize all the information about a building in a structured way for the entire duration of its life. This technology bridges the gap between engineers, architects, and the various professionals involved, allowing them to work in a collaborative environment where they can view, analyze, and modify all the structural components of a project in real time.

Managing weld seams makes the difference in tube processing
Jan 4, 2022, 9:48:00 AM
There are many cases in which the weld seams on tubes are an issue that must be addressed in order to obtain satisfactory finished parts. Technical requirements, appearance, structural and thickness tolerances and process continuity of the weld do not allow for leaving the position of the weld seam to chance. This rings true for laser cutting and bending alike. Let's take a closer look at the solutions available on BLM GROUP systems.

The solution for any need is a tube and sheet laser cutting system
Dec 7, 2021, 7:07:59 PM
“For us, the cutting time is not a particularly important parameter, the flexibility of the system is much more important, the process as a whole counts, and it's just not possible to compare the manual work of before with the current situation.”

Tubular Frame Fabrication: Endless Innovation with Lasertube & Artube
Jun 9, 2021, 4:07:45 PM
When you think of tube, normally you think of it as a fluid carrier – a water pipe, a gas line or a fuel line. You don’t think of a tube as a structural element, even if we see several examples of tube being used as a structural element in our daily lives.
