3D Structural Fabrication

3 Dimensional Technologies

Our 3D structural fabrication capabilities are composed of plasma, laser and mechanical CNC technologies. These dedicated cutting lines are outfitted to process and handle material at constant rate of production in order to uphold project budget and timeline requirements.

Marcon’s tube lasers possess 6-axis heads to cut and bevel ±0.0001-inch (0.002mm) tolerances across varying shapes for seamless weld prep. A 40-foot plasma line enables longer lengths and thicker materials by piercing 2-inch and edging 3-inch depths in channels and beams using tilting torch angles to eliminate tapering. In addition, we utilize a 40-foot angle bar line to hydraulically punch and shear 5/8-inch steel.

Cutting, Forming and Handling Capacities

• Laser cutting of 0.75’’ depths and 40’ lengths
• Plasma cutting beams up to 48’’ in height and 60’ lengths
• Angle bar cutting line of 5/8’’ depths and 6’’ x 6’’ stock

Integrated Guard Rail Design

Marcon’s 3 dimensional cutting, tapping and stamping technologies enable engineered improvements to basic bridge and overpass design attributes. Conventional handrail design often leaves LED lights exposed and susceptible to damage. We leverage our 6-axis tube laser to channel light stips within the handrail for improved resilience from wear and weathering. Our ability to finesse fine details for improved durability and aesthetic reaffirms Marcon as the foremost fabricator of North American transportation infrastructure.
