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.

Table Bull — numbered parts layout, dimensions, and detail of a part

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.

Our manufacturing method: 3D model, DXF flat parts, folding, engraving, welding 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.
