July 2008 – De Boer Snijbedrijf regularly cuts, positions and welds parts for the lids of delivery vessels used in a large steel factory.

September 2007 – Optimal utilisation of the cutting machines requires that they are programmed optimally. For that reason De Boer Snijbedrijf uses the latest version of PROfirst CADCAM. Since the introduction of the new software, the programming and cutting times of the cutting machines have dropped dramatically. Moreover, the new program ensures optimum nesting which saves a lot of material and lets the cutting machines run unmanned.

December 2006 – In the old days people built a platform, drilled one well and completely emptied an oil or gas field. Today they drill as many as fifty wells, connect these by pipes and pump the fuel to one station. This is much cheaper than one drilling rig per borehole and it has created a completely new industry for pipelayers. De Boer Snijbedrijf carried out various cutting works for the production of advanced pipelaying machines.
