In recent years, "precision shipbuilding" and "fast shipbuilding" have become the main trends in the development of shipbuilding industry. Laser cutting technology has developed rapidly, accounting for more than 70% of the entire laser processing industry. The shipbuilding industry is dominated by steel plate raw materials. The use of laser cutting of plates can replace some punching processing methods that require the use of complex large molds, greatly shortening the production cycle and reducing costs.

Laser cutting avoids uneven cutting quality caused by setting cutting allowance on the rib plate to ensure assembly clearance when plasma blanking the rib plate, and manually cutting. Thus reducing the workload, assembly cycle, material and labor cost waste of assembly. The marine steel plate cut by laser has good cutting quality, good perpendicularity of the cut surface, no slag, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no need for secondary processing, can be directly welded, small thermal deformation, high curve cutting accuracy, reduced working hours, and barrier free cutting of high-strength ship plates.
