Perfection in sheet metal work
Precision sheet metal with accuracy down to the millimetre. Custom cutting, press braking and finishing of thin sheet material — one-offs as well as series.

From the first drawing to the finished part we guide the whole process: material advice, engineering, production and surface finishing — all under one roof in Hengelo.
One-offs and series run on the same machines, with different preparation. For a prototype the emphasis is on thinking along about manufacturability: moving a bend line or repositioning a cut-out often saves an entire operation. For series it is about repeatability — the same fixturing, the same sequence and the same inspection points, so that the hundredth part matches the first.

For precision sheet metal with tight tolerances we combine laser cutting with a servo-electric press brake: this gives a more consistent bend angle than a hydraulic press, even over long series. Fixed work instructions and dimensional inspection during and after production keep dimensions reproducible, including on repeat orders.
If your request falls outside the range below, put it to us: within our group more is often possible than on our own machine.

From drawing to delivery
Laser cutting
On a Trumpf TruLaser 3040, a 4 kW fibre laser.
Deburring
By machine on a Timesavers 42 Series RB, so that edges are burr-free and safe before anyone handles them.
Press braking
On a servo-electric Safan Darley E-Brake 150-3100 T3 with 150 tonnes of press force and a working length of up to 3100 mm.
Welding
Where required, under ISO 3834-2 with documented welding parameters.
Finishing
Blasting, passivating, powder coating or anodising — you receive a finished part, not a semi-finished one.

Frequently asked questions
Which sheet thicknesses can you laser cut?
On the Trumpf TruLaser 3040 we cut steel from 0.5 to 25 mm, stainless steel from 0.5 to 20 mm, aluminium from 0.5 to 15 mm and galvanised steel from 0.5 to 10 mm. If your request falls outside that range, put it to us: we will then look at what is possible within our group.
Do you also make one-offs, or only series?
Both, on the same machines. For one-offs and prototypes the emphasis is on thinking along about manufacturability; for series it is on repeatability of dimensions and finishing, so that the last part matches the first.
Which materials do you process in sheet metal work?
Stainless steel 304 and 316, aluminium, brass and steel, including galvanised steel. Which material suits best depends on the load, the environment and whether the part is a visible surface — we are glad to advise before the drawing is final.
Do you supply sheet metal finished and ready for assembly?
Yes. Deburring, glass bead blasting, passivation, powder coating and the insertion of self-clinching and rivet nuts are all part of the process. You receive a part ready for assembly rather than a semi-finished product that still needs work elsewhere.
What do you need in order to prepare a quotation?
A PDF drawing and a 3D STEP file, the material grade and sheet thickness, the quantity, and whether it concerns visible surfaces with the associated finishing. If information is missing we contact you before quoting a price.
