"Laser Cutting in Structural Solutions", the successfully concluded event jointly sponsored by the “Promozione Acciaio” foundation and BLM GROUP combined academia and industry in a series of talks by several established industry professionals.

"Together we pooled  knowledge and experience," said Emanuele Magistri, Marketing Manager of BLM GROUP, "our goal was to create synergies and activate a network of contacts that can be of concrete help in the success of everyone in their own fields, starting from those who design a metal structure to those who build it."

Protagonist of the event was laser cutting, a process technology that offers many advantages in a variety of industries and represents a great development opportunity precisely for the construction sector.

Laser technology offers processing speed, precision, reduced assembly time on the construction site, reduced power consumption, simplified design, sustainability, and cost savings.

 

Adoption and collaboration are key factors in driving success in the targeted markets. The LASTTS (LASer cutting Technologi for Tubular Structures) project was a key presenter at the event. LASTTS brings together the efforts of universities, institutions and private companies, including BLM GROUP and the European community. The goal of this project is to propose state-of-the-art structural solutions using laser cutting technology to increase the competitiveness of the steel construction industry.
