NO PRESS BRAKE REQUIRED
Our folds are mostly done by hand. You cut and fold at home, using simple tools.
This applies exclusively to sculptures designed and developed by 4A Métal — it does not apply to other products or sculptures resold on this site.

We design. We cut. We fold. We assemble. Only then do we sell the file.
A presence that fills the space
Two meters tall, 1.43 m wingspan from shoulder to shoulder, with jaw open and fist on its chest. The XXL Gorilla is designed to be seen from afar: in a garden, an entrance hall, a showroom, or a restaurant terrace. Each facet catches the light differently depending on the time of day and angle.
3D visuals derived from the manufacturing model — non-contractual rendering.
95 parts. One color per part. One gorilla.
The DXF file contains each part separately, designed for a 1.5 mm steel sheet, numbered and marked for engraving. In this view, each color represents a distinct part — exactly what the file allows you to cut. Even the dentition: the fangs and teeth of each jaw are a separate folded part that fits into the open mouth.
95 parts to be laser cut · 201 folds according to the indicated angles · 302 welds to form the final sculpture · designed for a 1.5 mm steel sheet.
Designed for manual folding
Each fold line is provided in the file as discontinuous micro-laser cuts, separated by small bridges of material. The fold is guided and facilitated: you move it to its angle by hand, using simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers depending on the areas), and you control the final angle. On the long fold lines of the body, the cuts are longer so that less steel remains to be folded.
This system stems from our actual workshop trials and has evolved over several prototypes to reduce complex folds and facilitate assembly.
01
Dotted fold lines
The 201 folds are integrated into the file and are cut at the same time as the parts. No press brake, no tracing: the line is already there, in the right place.
02
31 overlapping joints
In hidden areas, one part has a small flap on which its neighbor rests. It aligns itself before tack welding, and the joint remains invisible once the sculpture is closed.
03
10 positioning tabs
Between the head and the body, tabs designed in the file fit into notches on the neighboring part. The position is fixed before welding: you weld perfectly the first time.
What the download contains
A ready-to-use cutting file, and the entire method to go from flat sheet metal to a 2-meter gorilla.
File 1
DXF file
The 95 flat parts, ready to be imported into your laser cutting software (or entrusted to a contractor). Fold lines, overlaps, tabs, and numbering included.
Folder 2
Folding folder
One sheet per part: direction of each fold (towards you or away) and its angle, suggested folding order starting from the largest facet, identification of welds with neighboring parts, overlaps, and tabs.
Folder 3
Assembly guide
Numbered views from all angles (sides, top...) and assembly order piece by piece. Each part finds its exact position, and the areas using our positioning systems are identified so you weld correctly the first time.
Don't have a laser cutter? The XXL Gorilla also exists in a steel kit version, with parts already cut — see below.

A centerpiece
At this scale, the gorilla no longer just decorates a space: it defines it.
For outdoor use, provide an appropriate finish (paint, varnish, or powder coating) and ground fixing.
What you need to do
- Cut the 95 parts from the DXF file (your laser or a contractor)
- Fold each part by hand, using the folding folder
- Position the parts according to the assembly guide
- Tack weld then weld each assembly
- Finish the surface as desired (raw, painted, powder-coated...)
Equipment and skill level
- Access to a laser cutter — yours or a local contractor
- Pliers, mallet, and locking pliers — no press brake
- MIG/MAG welding machine (or TIG for finishes)
- Level: handyman accustomed to sheet metal work and welding
- XXL format (2 m tall assembled) — provide a suitable workspace and help with handling
Frequently asked questions
Is a press brake required?
No. The fold lines are prepared by laser to be folded by hand, with simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers).
Do I need to know how to weld?
Yes. The parts are assembled by tack welding then full welding (MIG/MAG or TIG). This is a project for a handyman already comfortable with sheet metal and welding, not a beginner project.
Do I need a laser cutter to use this file?
Yes, or a laser cutting contractor. The DXF file imports directly into your cutting software. Without a laser, the steel kit provides you with parts already cut.
Are the cut parts included with the file?
No, you only receive the DXF file and the PDF folders. The cut parts are sold separately in the steel kit.
Are the folding and assembly folders provided?
Yes, both are included with the file: a piece-by-piece folding folder and an assembly guide with numbered views.
Can I manufacture and sell several copies from this file?
Yes, the serial production license allows you to manufacture and sell as many XXL Gorillas as you wish. However, you may not resell or redistribute the DXF file or the PDF folders.
A simple license
You may manufacture and sell as many XXL Gorillas as you wish from this file. You may never resell, share, or redistribute the DXF file or the provided PDF folders.
Would you rather receive the parts already cut, ready to fold? The XXL Gorilla also exists in a steel kit, cut in our workshop.
