BLM GROUP Blog - 3D laser cutting

In today’s competitive industrial landscape, the automation of production processes has become a key strategic lever for companies aiming to innovate and respond swiftly to market challenges. 

By integrating advanced technologies such as industrial robotics, artificial intelligence, and automated control systems, it is possible to radically transform the way production operations are managed.

What are the benefits of a multi-technology production management MES? Why use Prometheus?

Those who are already familiar with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software of BLM GROUP "ProTube Enterprise" in the management of the processing of tubular parts with laser cutting and bending, will find its evolution "Prometheus" very interesting. Prometheus allows unified management of the wide range of technologies within the Group, such as Lasertube, sheet metal laser cutting, tube bending and 3D part laser cutting.

The Belgian based metal construction company Walcarius NV wanted to stand out in the steel construction world by exploiting tube and beam machining and their interlocking potential offered by 3D laser cutting.

Laser cutting of tubes and profiles is rapidly growing in the production of various types of industrial vehicles such as agricultural machinery, trucks, equipments for warehouse logistics, constructions, electric power generators, etc.

In this short interview Lorenzo Carminato, Business Development Manager of LT-FREE at BLM GROUP USA, discusses the benefits of 5-axis laser cutting for aerospace applications.

Advanced processes for tube manufacturing, the result of growing demand for increased productivity and above all, flexibility, has led to the creation of systems capable of performing complex and precision operations on pre- bent, hydroformed or shaped tubes. 3D laser cutting technology is playing an increasingly important role in this type of processes.
