Complex shapes from flat sheet

If it can be drawn,
it can usually be folded.

Curved and round sections, parametric fins, 3D folded panels, shingle and interlocking skins, multi-bend profiles and perforated patterns all start as flat sheet on our laser and end on our press brake. Send the shape as you have it: our design team tells you how it can be made before anything is cut.

How a complex shape is made

Five steps,
in this order

01Draw and unfoldThe design desk reviews the shape, works out the flat pattern, the bend lines and the groove positions, and numbers every part. A grooved bend uses a different amount of metal from a plain one, so the flat size is worked out for it.
02Laser cutThe flat blanks are cut on the CNC fibre laser (2 m × 4 m bed), with every hole, perforation and pattern, and nested on the sheet with a 4 mm gap between parts.
03V-groove the seen cornersWhere a corner is seen from close by, a V-shaped groove is milled along the bend line (sheets up to 4 m), leaving a thin web of metal so the fold closes sharp.
04Fold in the planned orderThe 5-axis CNC press brake (up to 3 m) folds each bend in the order the drawing sets, so later bends never collide with earlier ones; programmes are kept for repeats.
05Weld, finish, inspectJoints are TIG or spot welded and ground flush; the finish is applied after the fold; the first piece is checked against the drawing and the approved sample before the batch.

Shape families

What flat sheet
becomes here

Each family with its real parts. Open one for the metals, the processes it went through and what we need to quote your version.

A round column cladding profile with a V-grooved return, formed from flat sheetCurved & round

Half-round and curved profiles

Sections with a radius, formed from flat sheet to the drawing; send the radius, the length and the finish.

A parametric fin wall installed, each fin cut to its own curveParametric

Parametric fins and screens

Each fin cut to its own curve, numbered and nested so the wall goes together as drawn.

Gradient perforation on a stainless steel facade panelParametric

Parametric façade panels

Panels whose folds or perforation change across the elevation, including kinetic façades that move with the wind.

The V-grooved blank of a 3D folded coin pattern panel3D folded

3D folded façade panels

Pyramids, facets and folds from one flat blank, V-grooved so every edge is sharp.

Inter-lock wall panel with vertical ribs in bronze finishInterlocking

Interlock panel system

Panels that hook into each other and hide their fixings; the joint is in the fold.

Hexagonal shingles in mixed bronze and brass finishes, feature wallSkins

Metal shingles

Hexagonal, diamond, fish-scale, triangular and wave shingles; the exposure can be adjusted on site.

What decides it

Can this shape
be made?

Sheet thickness0.25 to 3.8 mm is bent and V-grooved; the groove depth and the web left behind are set per metal and thickness.
Sheet sizeThe laser bed takes 2 m × 4 m; V-grooving runs up to 4 m; the press brake folds up to 3 m in one stroke.
CornersSeen from close by: V-grooved sharp. Hidden or structural: a normal bend, which keeps more metal at the fold and costs less.
MetalsStainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, brass and copper are V-grooved; eight metals are cut and bent.
FinishApplied after the fold, so faces, edges and corners are finished alike; PVD colours on stainless steel, powder coating on aluminium, mild steel and GI, both arranged by MCS through approved coating vendors.
The restMinimum legs, the smallest radius, hole-to-edge distances and maximum lengths depend on the section and the metal: they are confirmed on your drawing, before anything is cut.

Draw it yourself

Three tools for
complex shapes

Profile Builder

Any folded section

Up to 15 legs, left or right bends at any angle; the crash check tells you when a leg would run into another.

Panel Builder

Folded and perforated panels

Returns and lips on four sides, plain or perforated; the brake check says which folds can be made.

Start Your Facade

Panels, fins, shingles for a whole elevation

Give the wall size and choose the system; the Studio lays out the panels, counts them and draws the sketch.

Questions and answers

Complex shapes:
questions

Can a curved section be V-grooved?

The groove runs along a straight bend line, so the sharp corners of a curved part are its straight folds; the curve itself is formed from the flat sheet. Send the drawing and we confirm the way to make it.

How many bends can one part have?

The builder allows up to 15 legs. On the machine, the limit is set by the order of the folds and the tooling: a later bend must not collide with an earlier one. The design desk checks this on your drawing.

Do parametric parts cost more?

Each part is cut to its own shape, so the laser time and the nesting decide the cost rather than the number of different parts. We quote from the drawing or from the Facade Studio layout.

Is a V-grooved fold weaker?

Less metal at the corner means a weaker fold, so a structural, load-bearing bend may need a normal bend instead. We say which bends should stay normal.
