HENGDE Vertical Cutting Machine Receives a 2026 European Design Award
HENGDE's bidirectional gantry vertical cutting machine was recognised in the 2026 European Design Awards programme under the Commercial & Industrial product-design category, in the award programme’s published project entry. The machine was developed for lightweight block production and combines a dual-track gantry arrangement, servo CNC control and rotary cutting. The design combines adjustable cutting dimensions, narrow-kerf band-saw cutting and the ability to process multiple green bodies in one cycle.
HENGDE’s bidirectional gantry vertical cutting machine was recognised in the 2026 European Design Awards programme under the Commercial & Industrial product-design category, in the award programme’s published project entry.

For a production plant, the value of the design is measured by more than appearance. Cutting stability, dimensional consistency, material utilisation, maintenance access and integration with mould transfer all affect whether the machine can support continuous production.
HENGDE develops the cutting arrangement around the block dimensions, billet condition and line-transfer cycle. The award project entry presents the machine’s design and project team.
