NO PRESS BRAKE REQUIRED

Most of our bending is done by hand. After cutting, we bend with simple tools.

The 4A Métal assisted bending system

Each bend line is laser cut discontinuously: thin slits separated by small steel bridges. These bridges hold the piece and serve as a hinge. We bring the bend to its angle by hand, with a locking pliers, and you control the final angle.

These lines are already integrated into the DXF file: you start the cutting, the bending system comes directly out of the machine.

We design. We cut. We bend. We assemble. Then only, we sell the file.

Material consumption

Only 1 sheet of 1495 × 600 mm

in 1.5 mm thickness — the 111 pieces of the pitbull are nested on a single sheet. You know exactly what to order before starting the cutting.

The pitbull from every angle

360° view of the finished sculpture.

All the power of the pitbull, in steel

Open muzzle, upright ears, gaze into the distance: the pitbull stands straight on its four legs, full of confidence. Its large facets draw the musculature and catch the light differently depending on the time and angle. At 60 cm high and 80 cm long, it has the build of a real dog — and at around 7 kg, it remains easy to move.
