We design. We cut. We bend. We assemble. Only then do we sell the file.
55 parts. One color per part. One table bull.
The DXF file contains each part separately, designed for 1.5 mm steel sheet, then numbered and marked for engraving. In this overview, each color represents a distinct part — exactly what the file allows you to cut.

55 parts to be laser cut · 84 folds according to indicated angles · 135 welds to form the final sculpture · designed for 1.5 mm steel sheet.
Designed for manual folding
Each fold line is provided in the file to be laser cut with a system of slits that guides and facilitates hand-folding, without a press brake. You bring each fold to its final angle using simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers depending on the areas).
This system comes from our actual tests in the workshop and has evolved through several prototypes to reduce complex folds and facilitate assembly.

What's in the download
A ready-to-use cutting file, and the entire method to go from flat sheet metal to assembled sculpture.
File 1
DXF file
All 55 parts flat, ready to be imported into your laser cutting software (or given to a service provider). Fold lines and numbering included.
Folder 2
Folding folder
One sheet per part: direction of fold (towards you or away), suggested folding order, and location of welds with neighboring parts — the detail of the method is illustrated above. Everything you need to advance part by part without getting lost.
Folder 3
Assembly guide
Numbered views from all angles — see the overview above. Each part finds its exact position in the sculpture, and the areas using our positioning systems are identified so you can weld correctly on the first try.
Don't have a laser cutter? The Table Bull also exists as a steel kit, with parts already cut — see below.

A simple license
You can manufacture and sell as many Table Bulls 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 bend? The Table Bull also exists as a steel kit, cut in our workshop.
