Start Work Preparation & Production

After receiving your final models and material we will prepare cutting files using our ProCAM software. Once these files are ready production will be started at our production facility using the machine which suits best to the materials that need to be cut.

Pick-up or get your shipment delivered

After completion of the cutting job, you will receive a message that your materials are ready to be picked up. If you need us to deliver the materials to your site we will make those arrangements.

Our additional services

Additional Holes and Slots

In addition to the final cuts, we can add holes and slots for various applications. These can also be prepared with the desired welding preparations, such as a ½ V-groove or X/K-groove.

Adding Reference lines and Markings

Our machines can apply reference lines and footprint markings using either a needle or plasma. This not only speeds up fitting time but also ensures higher quality. By incorporating these markings into your engineering plans beforehand, we can replicate them directly in our production process.

Certified for Re-marking​

We are certified by Lloyd’s Register Nederland B.V. to transfer markings and numbers and issue inspection reports 3.1 and 3.2 in accordance with EN 10204:2004.

Delivery, Storage & Transport

Materials are usually delivered to us by you or your supplier. We have a large storage area capable of accommodating large-diameter and long-length material. However, we can also arrange transportation for you, ensuring materials are picked up and returned to the desired location. We partner with a transportation provider who offers daily services both within the Netherlands and internationally.

Our drawing guidelines

We are flexible with our drawing guidelines; however, we do prefer the options listed below for a speedy process. If you have a different file format or need assistance in preparing your files, feel free to contact our team.

STEP (3D)

We convert STEP files into cutting files with HGG’s ProCAM. Our system reads STEP files in freeform shapes without relying on macros, providing you with design freedom.

DSTV (2D)

No extra post-processor is required because HGG’s ProCAM can import and read data for DSTV (NC/NC1) files. Enriched files, with a 3rd party post-processor are also possible.
