StruCIM®

Cut More Steel Win More Jobs

StruCIM® is a fully-automated system for robotic beam and plate cutting and welding that takes your structural designs from engineering data to fabricated assemblies within a single, powerful, easy-to-use solution.

Robotic Solutions

The StruCIM® software engine drives robotically controlled plasma cutting systems such as those provided by Reis, Motoman and PDSI and is highly automated, user friendly, and easily integrates into your operations.Improve production throughput

• Improve consistency of cuts and reduce scrap
• Reduce cycle time for large assemblies
• Minimize production floor space
