In skeleton-free processing, the machine, the software and intelligent tooling are all perfectly matched and when the machining is complete, the original metal sheet would have simply vanished. That boosts not only process reliability, but material efficiency, as well. On average, this achieves a 10 per cent improvement – but in some cases even as much as 50 per cent.

Coherent Technologies, a manufacturer of laser systems from the US, was a debutant at the Dawood Sons Group stand and is demonstrating the Metabeam 1000. “The recently-introduced Metabeam 1000 has the capacity to cut stainless steel up to 3mm with 1KW along with other materials such as mild steel, aluminium, acrylic, wood, rubber etc,” said Mr Shakeel Siddique of Dawood Sons Group.
