Cutting Steel

                                                                      

Here are some photos from Far West Steel that show our steel order being cut with a computer controlled plasma cutter, then banded and packed for delivery. Every piece of steel that goes into the building of the hull has been modeled and lofted on a computer. The automated plasma cutter takes that data and uses it to cut out all the parts with great precision, including all the hull and deck plating. This saves a tremendous amount of work at the build site. -PB
