Fabrication method

3 bending options

Same model. Same result. Choose your level of preparation.

1 Economy option

Cut — engraved lines

Parts laser-cut with engraved bending marks. You perform the bending yourself using your own method and equipment.

3 Time-saver

Cut + pre-bent by 4A Metal

We cut and form the parts in our workshop. You receive the components already bent but still unassembled: assembly and welding remain your responsibility.

The concept

Why a kit?

We sell the laser-cut sheet metal to significantly reduce costs, offer a more accessible price than an assembled version, and provide total freedom for artisans and creators.

Two material options are available: raw steel, which you can leave as is, varnish, or paint depending on the desired look, or Corten steel, which naturally develops its protective rust patina without any treatment.

The kit is ideal for welders, metalworkers, artists, experienced DIYers, and technical schools.
