Abstract: An object of the invention is achieved by a method for cutting an elongated shell-type object. The method may include steps of providing a gantry defining a portal and comprising a wire grid operable in the portal; operating the wire grid, whilst moving the shell-type object through the wire grid along a lateral-axis (Z) substantially perpendicular to the portal. The method is performed by a stationary gantry, where the shell-type object is moved through the portal. Thereby, the method is simplified as there is no need for a rail system for moving the gantry.
