Macrodyne’s shipbuilding presses are the solution for shaping the hulls and sub-structures of tomorrow’s ships. Combining cutting-edge cold-forming technology with customizable designs, our servo and hydraulic presses for shipbuilding deliver superior strength, faster production times, and unparalleled precision. Whether you’re crafting hull plates, sub-structures, or specialty components, Macrodyne offers custom presses for shipbuilding designed to meet the demanding needs of the marine industry.
Shipbuilding requires precision-engineered presses to form, shape and assemble critical marine components. From crafting robust hull structures to shaping intricate reinforcements, the right press technology ensures efficiency, durability and performance.
Shipyard hull presses used in the forming and shaping of hulls and other large plates or panels used in the production of yachts, ships and other marine vessels.
Create high-strength marine components through controlled force application. Whether you are swaging, cogging, upsetting, open-die forging, impression-die forging, press forging, or ring-blanking your parts, Macrodyne can design a cold forging, warm forging or hot forging press to suit your application.
Form curved or concave metal plates with precision shaping. These rigid presses are available in a wide range of tonnage and bed sizes for pressing hot and cold steel or metal alloy blanks into hemispherical heads of larger spherical diameters and wall thicknesses.
Elongate and shape metal panels with smooth, uniform curves. Macrodyne’s Stretch Forming Presses are available in a variety of configurations to form Sheet Metal, Extrusions, and Brake-Formed Profile Parts.
Create deep, hollow shapes from metal sheets with controlled force application. The repeatable and precise performance of our deep draw presses offers the optimal process control required to form a wide array of parts reliably.
Shape lightweight yet high-strength metal components with extreme precision. Standard features on Macrodyne Superplastic Forming Presses include precise and uniform multi-zone temperature control, specialized plunger guide arrangements, precision gas management systems and more.
Macrodyne presses are built to adapt to your toughest challenges:
Hull Plates – Large steel or aluminum plates forming the ship’s outer shell.
Keel Sections – The backbone of the ship, providing structural integrity.
Bulkheads & Partitions – Internal walls that provide compartmentalization and strength.
Deck Panels – Horizontal structural sections forming the floors of different ship levels.
Side Shell Frames – Curved or straight structural elements shaping the hull’s contour.
Stringers & Stiffeners – Longitudinal reinforcements that strengthen hull and deck panels.
Ribs & Frames – Vertical reinforcements that shape and support the ship’s structure.
Girders & Beams – Heavy-duty structural supports for decks and bulkheads.
Brackets & Gussets – Small but crucial components reinforcing welded joints.
Web Frames – Large reinforcements distributing stress along the ship’s structure.
Propeller Blades – Hydrodynamically shaped metal blades for ship propulsion.
Rudder Components – Plates and supports forming the ship’s steering system.
Shaft Bearings & Housings – Support structures for propeller shafts and drive systems.
Thruster Housings – Casings for maneuvering thrusters improving ship agility.
Dished Heads & Tank Ends – Curved plates used in marine fuel and ballast tanks.
Pipe Flanges & Connectors – Reinforced connection points for ship piping systems.
Hatch Covers & Doors – Heavy-duty steel components for watertight compartments.
Porthole & Window Frames – Reinforced openings for ship visibility and ventilation.
Fairings & Access Panels – Covers designed for hydrodynamic efficiency and maintenance access.
