The 4A Métal assisted bending system
Each bend line is cut discontinuously with a laser ("dashed line"): 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 a locking pliers, and you control the final angle.

These lines are already integrated into the DXF file: you start the cut, the bending system comes directly out of the machine.
We design. We cut. We bend. We assemble. Then only, we sell the file.
The lion from every angle
360° view of the finished sculpture.
A lion roaring on your table
Open mouth, faceted mane, body leaning forward: this roaring lion was designed to sit on a table, sideboard, or shelf. With its 65 cm long by 42 cm high, it has a real presence without taking up too much space. Each facet catches the light differently, and the sculpture changes appearance depending on the time and the angle from which you look at it.

What the shipment contains
You don't just receive a plan: everything needed to cut, bend, and assemble the lion.

Frequently asked questions
When will I receive the files?
The 3D model of this piece is finished. The DXF file and PDF guides are sent to you by email upon purchase.
How big is the lion once assembled?
65 cm long, 42 cm high, and 22 cm wide. It is a table sculpture.
How many pieces are in the file?
139 pieces, all numbered, so you can easily keep track during bending and assembly.
Do I receive metal pieces?
No, it is a digital product. If you want the pieces already cut, get the kit version (see below).
Is a press brake required?
No. The assisted bending lines (dashed line) are integrated into the DXF: after cutting, the pieces are bent by hand using simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers).
What cutting gas do you recommend?
In our workshop, we cut this lion with a fiber laser using nitrogen: the edges come out clean and without oxidation, which makes bending and welding easier.
Can I sell the lions I make?
Yes, you can make and sell assembled lions from this file. However, the DXF file and PDF guides cannot be resold, shared, or redistributed (see our license below).
