DTEC Co., Ltd., based in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, is a leading manufacturer of medium and small-sized aluminum vessels, including leisure boats, commercial vessels, and government ships such as patrol and multi-purpose maintenance boats. Founded in the early 2000s, DTEC emphasizes international certifications and high-quality standards to meet global market demands.
In the critical stage of aluminum ship hull component cutting, DTEC faced challenges with traditional manual or semi-automated methods, including insufficient precision and low production efficiency. To overcome these bottlenecks, DTEC selected Mintech’s SR Series Industrial CNC Router, enabling precision aluminum plate cutting, milling, drilling, and threading. This solution minimized material waste, accelerated production cycles, and improved assembly accuracy.
DTEC’s ship hull components require precise cutting of high-strength aluminum plates into complex shapes such as curved hull panels, stiffeners, and connectors, ensuring water-tightness, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity. Traditional cutting methods (plasma or water jet) presented the following issues:
These challenges directly impacted DTEC’s delivery schedules and competitiveness.
