Laser cutting and bending

Before a metal piece acquires its finish, it must take shape

Laser cutting and bending are the processes that define the geometry of every element: the shapes, angles, profiles and surfaces. At Metalbril these processes are carried out with precision industrial equipment and specific technical expertise, on iron, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and copper, for commissions ranging from individual furnishing accessories to large-scale contract productions. The result is always the same: a geometrically precise piece, ready to receive the high-quality finishes that will transform it into the final work.

Bending. Three-dimensional geometries with industrial precision

Bending transforms flat sheet metal into a three-dimensional element. It is the process that gives volume to structures, creating profiles, boxes, edges and complex shapes from a flat sheet of metal. Carried out with numerically controlled press brakes, it guarantees precise and repeatable angles on every piece in the series, with tolerances that allow perfect fits and joints during assembly. Bending at Metalbril is carried out on iron, stainless steel and aluminium, with parameters calibrated to the thickness of the material and the type of alloy. For metal components requiring more complex processing, bending is integrated with milling and turning, further expanding the formal possibilities available to the designer.

Laser cutting. Thousandth precision on every shape

Laser cutting is the technology that has revolutionised metal processing in carpentry. It allows complex shapes to be cut with tight tolerances and absolute repeatability on every piece, without physical contact with the material and without deformations from mechanical pressure. Applied to sheets of iron, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and copper of different thicknesses, with results that conventional metal punching cannot match in terms of precision and edge quality. At Metalbril laser cutting is the starting point for many of the pieces we produce: decorative panels with complex geometric patterns, wall cladding with bespoke shapes, architectural structures, staircase elements and furnishing accessories where the shape is an integral part of the final aesthetic. The cleanliness of laser cutting significantly reduces subsequent finishing work, guaranteeing sharp edges and surfaces ready for finishing processes.

Laser cutting and bending in material processing

Laser cutting and bending deliver different results depending on the material treated. Every metal has its own cutting characteristics, thermal deformations and bending tolerances that require specific processing parameters and in-depth technical knowledge to be managed with precision.

Copper

Iron

Aluminium

Other processes

Design

Design is the moment when an idea takes technical form: from brief analysis to 3D project, from sampling to validation.

Burnishing and oxidation

A chemical and thermal process that acts on the surface structure of the metal, generating dark, warm tones and a materiality that no painting can replicate.

Painting

It is the process that defines the final visual character of a piece, establishing the relationship between the metal and the light, between the surface and those who observe it.

Cleaning and polishing

Lavorazioni che portano il materiale al suo massimo potenziale visivo, rimuovendo le imperfezioni per arrivare alla finitura finale.

TIG and MIG welding

TIG and MIG welding is the process that holds every metal piece together. Carried out by qualified welders, with clean beads and precise joints.

The transformation of matter

Stainless steel laser cutting and bending. Precision on a demanding material

Stainless steel is one of the most processed materials with laser cutting in luxury interior design and architecture contexts. It allows sharp edges and surfaces free of visible oxidations to be obtained, with a cutting quality that translates directly into the quality of the final finish. The stainless steel processes we carry out, from cutting to bending through to finishing, are compliant with EN 1090 certification and documented for every commission.

Iron laser cutting and bending. The shape that becomes structure

Laser cutting of iron allows structural and decorative elements to be produced with a precision impossible to achieve with conventional punching techniques. Panels, cladding, load-bearing structures and complex decorative shapes take form from laser cutting and are then bent, welded and finished to become the pieces that characterise the luxury interior design and furnishing projects we follow.

Brass laser cutting. Precious details with tight tolerances

Laser cutting of brass is the ideal process for all those decorative elements where detail is everything: frames, grilles, perforated panels, profiles and inserts that require geometric precision and impeccable edge quality. Brass responds well to laser cutting with calibrated parameters, delivering surfaces ready for the burnishing, polishing or painting finishes that characterise our processes.

Aluminium laser cutting and bending. Large scale with low weight

Processing of aluminium with laser cutting and bending allows large-format surfaces with low weight to be produced, ideal for architectural cladding, suspended ceilings and decorative panels in contract contexts where the scale is ambitious. Aluminium lends itself very well to bending, with a ductility that allows complex geometries and precise angles on large-scale elements.

From drawing to finished product. The Metalbril process

Laser cutting and bending at Metalbril are part of an integrated production process that begins from design. The technical office elaborates 2D working drawings or 3D modelling of the piece, optimising shapes for laser cutting and defining bending sequences. Only after validation of the drawing does processing proceed, guaranteeing that every piece corresponds exactly to the design specifications. Internal management of all phases, from cutting to finishing through to on-site installation, ensures quality continuity and a single point of contact for the entire process.
