Frequently asked questions

V-grooving mills a precise channel along the bend line before the sheet is folded. With that metal removed, the sheet closes to a much smaller radius than a press brake alone can make. Architectural profiles get a sharp outside corner and a cleaner joint.

It is the MCS way of folding sheet metal so the outside corner is crisp, not rounded. A CNC V-groove is milled along the bend line, then the sheet is folded on the press brake and the corner closes sharp. The profile, panel or cladding edge looks machined, not folded. MCS is set up around this operation.

No. MCS works business to business, in project quantities, with architects, interior designers, PMCs, contractors, developers and fabricators. Prototypes and samples are made as the first step of a project, on the same machines as the production run.

Architects and interior designers who detail the metalwork, PMCs, consultants and contractors who deliver the project, and developers and fabricators who buy it. Most work starts with a drawing, a fabrication review and a sample, and then goes to production quantity.

No. Everything MCS makes starts as flat sheet (stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, bronze, mild steel or zinc) and is laser cut, V-grooved and folded: bent and V-grooved from 0.25 to 4 mm, laser cut up to 16 mm mild steel and 8 mm stainless steel. That covers most profiles and sections an extrusion would give, also in metals that cannot be extruded, as well as square and rectangular pipe with sharp corners, panels, cladding, ceilings and fabricated assemblies. Solid bar, castings, drawn round tube and forgings are outside the process.

Stainless steel, aluminium, brass, bronze, copper, mild steel, zinc and galvanized iron, bent and V-grooved from 0.25 mm to 4 mm thick, laser cut up to 16 mm mild steel and 8 mm stainless steel. Finishes are mirror, hairline, matte, bead blast, antique or brushed, PVD (gold, rose gold, champagne gold, bronze) and powder coating.

Pre-coated sheet shows raw, uncoated metal at every cut and every joint. MCS cuts, bends, welds and buffs each piece first and coats it afterwards. The colour then runs unbroken over faces, edges and welds.

Yes. Most MCS work starts from a supplied drawing, not a catalogue number. Send a PDF, DWG or DXF. MCS sends back a fabrication review: material, thickness, bend sequence, groove positions, finish, and any point where the shape cannot be made as drawn.

Yes. Prototypes, samples, bulk orders and contract production all run on the same machines. What you approve as a sample can be repeated at quantity.

A quotation depends on material, thickness, dimensions, profile, quantity, number of bends, grooves, laser processing, finish and complexity. A fixed published price would be wrong, or padded so much that it would be of no use.

MCS supplies from its manufacturing facility in Narela, Delhi, across Delhi NCR and to projects throughout India.

Yes, and you should. No screen or printed swatch shows a metal finish truthfully. Approve the finish on physical metal, in the grade and thickness you intend to use.

Metal Craft Studio was established in 2001 in Delhi. The 2026 company profile describes it as an integrated precision sheet-metal manufacturer. CNC fibre laser cutting, V-grooving, CNC bending and in-house fabrication are under one roof at Narela, and turn customer drawings into finished metal components and assemblies.

The work follows the customer's drawings and project requirements. There are inspection checkpoints after design, after cutting, after grooving, after bending and after final fabrication. A piece moves to the next operation only when the previous one has been checked.

The MCS process ends with inspection, packing, dispatch and installation support. How much site support is included depends on the project. Ask for it in your quotation request and MCS will confirm it with the quote.

Yes. The Gallery page has photographs by division and the process reels from the MCS YouTube channel, which show cutting, V-grooving and bending as they happen. Physical samples are available on request. A visit to the Narela workshop and showroom can be arranged through the contact page.
