Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) is always more than just an exhibition, it’s a reflection of where the manufacturing and engineering industry is headed. The 2025 event highlighted a clear shift toward smarter, more efficient production, and the Plazmax CutAce CNC plasma cutting system fit right into that conversation.
Precision and Efficiency, Front and Centre
Alongside our Australian distributor Smenco and our long-standing technology partner Hypertherm – a global leader in plasma cutting systems, the CutAce was on display cutting carbon steel, stainless, and aluminium with impressive speed and accuracy. But beyond the visual results, it was a demonstration of what’s now possible when precision hardware and intelligent software work seamlessly together. Features like taper-free hole cutting, advanced bevelling, and MaxControl CNC’s intuitive interface allow users to produce high-quality parts quickly and consistently with minimal operator input.
Addressing Familiar Challenges
A recurring theme that emerged at AMW was the push for greater efficiency, with many manufacturers looking for ways to boost output without compromising on quality. Common challenges included inconsistent results and long lead times from outsourcing, and outdated machinery struggling to keep pace with demand.
The CutAce is engineered to address these production pain points. Featuring advanced laser height sensing, highly efficient processing, and streamlined material handling, it significantly reduces waste and minimises bottlenecks. In real-world applications, it can boost part production by at least 25% and cut down on costly rework.
Built for What’s Next
The CutAce is not just a solution for today’s workshop. It is designed with future growth in mind, fully optimised for Industry 4.0 with features like remote diagnostics, real-time performance tracking, and seamless integration with other machinery. Whether you’re scaling up or simply looking to improve current processes, it provides the flexibility to evolve with your business.
Local Support You Can Count On
Designed in New Zealand with full installation, training, and ongoing technical support available across Australia. The CutAce is backed by a dedicated team to ensure you can maximise uptime and get the most from your investment.
See the CutAce in Action
If you missed out on the action at AMW, let’s arrange a private demo to show you how the CutAce performs in a real-world setting. It’s a great way to explore what precision and productivity look like with the right technology in place.
