ABOUT PLASMA CUTTING

Plasma cutting is a versatile and efficient method of cutting through conductive metals using a high-velocity jet of ionized gas or plasma. The process involves directing the plasma torch along a desired cutting path, melting and severing the metal. It is widely used in industries such as metal fabrication, automotive, aerospace, and construction, allowing for fast cutting speeds, the ability to handle various metal thicknesses, and the creation of both straight cuts and intricate shapes.

It is a valuable technique for precise and efficient metal-cutting applications. If you need clean-cut metals, Our professionals are capable of handling heavy-duty metal fabrication equipment to help with your project!

HOW IT WORKS

PLASMA FABRICATION

Plasma fabrication modifies material surfaces using low-temperature plasma, achieved by ionizing gases. Energetic ions in the plasma interact with the material, allowing for etching, deposition, and precise control, enabling various applications in industries like microelectronics and optical coatings.
