Cut pieces shipped flat — you fold, assemble, and weld at home.
Designed, tested, and cut in our workshop. It's up to you to give it shape.
Designed for manual folding
Each fold line is prepared by laser with a system of fold lines that guides and facilitates manual folding, without a press brake — see the method details in the visual below.
This system comes from our real-world workshop trials and has evolved over several prototypes to reduce complex folds and facilitate assembly.
Two PDF manuals included with the kit
You don't just receive cut steel: each piece is documented, including folding and assembly.
Manual 1
Folding manual
One sheet per piece: direction of the fold (towards you or away), suggested folding order, and location of welds with adjacent pieces — the method details are illustrated above. Everything you need to progress piece by piece without getting lost.
Manual 2
Assembly guide
Numbered views from all angles. Each piece finds its exact position in the sculpture, and the areas using our positioning systems are identified to weld accurately on the first try.
These two manuals are provided only with the steel kit.

Frequently asked questions
Is a press brake required?
No. The fold lines are laser-prepared to be folded by hand, with simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers).
Do I need to know how to weld?
Yes. The pieces are assembled by tacking then welding (MIG/MAG or TIG). This is a kit for a DIYer already comfortable with sheet metal and welding, not a beginner's kit.
Are the pieces already folded upon delivery?
No, they are shipped flat, laser-cut with integrated fold lines. Folding is done at your place.
Is the DXF file included with the kit?
No, the kit contains the already-cut pieces. The DXF file alone is sold separately for those who have their own laser cutter.
Are the folding and assembly manuals provided?
Yes, both are included with the kit: a piece-by-piece folding manual and an assembly guide with numbered views.
Can I resell the XXL Tiger once assembled?
Yes, you can assemble, display, and resell the finished object. The provided PDF manuals, however, remain for personal use only (see our license below).
A simple license
You can assemble, display, and resell the XXL Tiger once built from the pieces of this kit. The PDF manuals (folding and assembly) provided with the kit remain reserved for your personal use: you cannot resell, share, or redistribute them. To manufacture and sell multiple XXL Tigers, see the DXF file version below.
Do you already have your own laser or cutter? The XXL Tiger also exists as a DXF plan only version, without the cut pieces.
