description Vosper Thornycroft cuts its ship parts by laser, and the company is happy with the results. Engineers at the TWI Centre for Joining Technologies also agree that lasers can produce accurate cuts, low distortion and clean welds. Lasers avoid the noise and fuel costs of plasma systems. However, laser-based systems need more development, if only to increase their operating speed, typically by increasing their power.
