Accurate folded parts from clear drawings
Folded parts need more than a flat profile. Bend angles, inside or outside dimensions, material thickness, and critical faces all affect the final result. LaserFab reviews these details before confirming the job.
Based in Tauranga, LaserFab supports trade, commercial, and production work across the Bay of Plenty and wider New Zealand.
Good quote information
- Flat pattern DXF where available.
- Folding drawing, sketch, or STEP file showing the final folded shape.
- Bend angles, material, thickness, and required quantity.
- Any visible faces, grain direction, or fit-up requirements.
Common Questions
Can I supply my own parts for CNC folding?
Yes, suitable customer-supplied parts can be assessed for folding. LaserFab checks material, thickness, bend length, and tooling compatibility first.
What drawing is best for folded parts?
A DXF flat pattern plus a folding drawing or STEP file is best. This reduces guesswork around bend angles, dimensions, and critical faces.
What size parts can LaserFab fold?
The DERATECH TECHNICA press brake has 130-ton capacity and a maximum bend length around 3200 mm, with practical limits depending on material and geometry.
Can LaserFab cut and fold parts in-house?
Yes. LaserFab can laser cut and CNC fold suitable parts in Tauranga, helping reduce handoffs and improve consistency.
