[Industry]
Metal product manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
3D laser processing equipment opens a new path: 3D laser processing equipment can provide efficient, high-accuracy processing of sheet materials, and also pipes, H beams, and angles. It can even cut out parts directly from materials. This equipment enables quick and accurate processing of complicated three-dimensional shapes that used to require high technology.
Provide new aerial photos using UAVs: UAVs are optimal for low-altitude and medium-altitude photography that is impossible with aircraft. This makes it possible to take photographs even where there is not a broad area for takeoff or landing. We possess high-performance UAV equipment for high-quality photography that demonstrates its power in surveys even where people cannot enter.
