The 4A Métal assisted bending system
Each bend line is cut discontinuously by laser: thin slits separated by small steel bridges. These bridges hold the piece and serve as a hinge. The bend is brought to its angle by hand, with locking pliers, and you control the final angle.

These lines are already integrated into the DXF file: you start the cut, and the bending system comes directly out of the machine.
We design. We cut. We bend. We assemble. Then only, we sell the file.
The boar, faceted version
The snout pointed forward, the massive tusk carved into facets, the bust standing on its base. No need for a wall: the boar head sits on a piece of furniture, a console, or a mantelpiece, and can be viewed from every angle. A trophy that owes nothing to hunting. Each facet catches the light differently, and the sculpture changes appearance depending on the time and where you look at it from.
What the delivery contains
You don't just receive a plan: everything needed to cut, bend, and assemble the boar head.
File
DXF cutting plan
All pieces, numbered, with the assisted bending lines already integrated. Ready to go on your laser cutter.
Folder 1
Bending folder
One sheet per piece: direction of each bend (towards you or away), and its angle, suggested bending order, identification of welds with neighboring pieces.
Folder 2
Assembly guide
Numbered views from every angle. Each piece finds its exact position in the sculpture, and the areas using our positioning systems are identified so you can weld correctly the first time.
