Laser Cutting in the Maritime Industry

The maritime industry is vital for trade, cargo transportation, and accessibility to goods. With constant exposure to the sea and humidity, maritime vessels require heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant parts. This means vessels and docks need top-notch builds to keep them reliable and easy to repair when needed. With sea-ready materials and consistent manufacturing, quality laser-cut parts help keep vessels on the move.

Precision Needs for Maritime Vessels

Maritime vessels need exact, precise metal parts. Since these parts will have constant sea exposure, we find it best to use stainless steel and aluminum for metal fabrication. At Edge Metalworks, our maritime partners use our laser-cut parts for dock components, commercial vessel seating brackets, ship hulls, commercial vessel wall panels, handrail mounts and tubes, gear mounting brackets, gauge mounting panels, door components, and more. The reliability of these parts is vital for passing routine port inspections and keeping cargo deliveries on schedule.

Environmental Benefits

Using laser-cutting tools for your maritime parts does a great job of ensuring your company remains eco-conscious. High-quality lasers minimize raw material waste and don’t require the use of physical tools that consume massive amounts of energy. Machine cutting also requires the use of oils, coolants, and lubricants, which can lead to your environmental footprint increasing. Laser cutting eliminates the need for these fluids, reducing the footprint connected to chemical management. Additionally, we have a recycling program where all material waste from our cutting projects is recycled, keeping costs down and relieving the environment of metal waste. Our fiber lasers are energy-efficient, with their high accuracy, optimized material use, and waste reduction in metal fabrication that reduce our and your business’s carbon footprints.
