Advanced Laser Processing Technology for High-Strength Automotive Body Structures by Han’s Laser
January 15,2026

A rigid body structure is the first line of defense for vehicle safety.
As automotive safety standards continue to rise, manufacturers are increasingly adopting hot-stamped steel components with tensile strengths reaching 1,500 MPa. However, traditional trimming and punching processes struggle to meet the precision and efficiency requirements of these ultra-high-strength materials.

To address this challenge, Han’s Laser 3D five-axis laser cutting machines provide a reliable and highly precise solution for trimming and hole cutting of complex hot-formed automotive parts, helping manufacturers build stronger, safer vehicle body structures.

 

Laser Cutting Solutions for Automotive Parts Manufacturing

 

In modern automotive production, hot forming materials are widely used in structural components such as A-pillars, B-pillars, door beams, and crash reinforcement parts. Han’s Laser cutting systems have been successfully implemented across multiple automotive parts manufacturing plants.

A typical production process includes:

* Coil laser cutting lines for blank preparation

* Automated laser cutting production lines for high-efficiency processing

* 3D five-axis laser cutting machines for post-forming trimming and hole cutting

This integrated approach significantly improves production efficiency while maintaining consistent cutting accuracy and part quality.
