Supporting panel production, in collaboration with our partners. These in-house machines help reduce outsourcing, transport and risk, allowing aluminium plates to be formed into ready-to-install panels without stepping into design or façade construction.
Laser cutting and bending allow aluminium panels to be shaped accurately according to project-specific geometries. At Alumet, these processes are integrated into our anodizing workflow, enabling precise forming while preserving surface quality and finish integrity.
Our role is focused on execution: translating approved designs into cleanly cut and accurately bent components that are ready for further processing or installation.
Laser cutting is used to define geometry, openings and detailing in aluminium plates with high dimensional accuracy. Using fiber laser technology, we process aluminium panels up to 4000 × 2000 mm, ensuring tight tolerances and repeatable results across series production.
To ensure accuracy and predictability, laser cutting is performed exclusively based on client-supplied STEP files. This allows us to execute designs exactly as intended, without reinterpretation or modification of the original geometry.
By keeping cutting in-house, we maintain control over edge quality and surface condition, an essential factor when components continue into anodizing or further forming steps.
Technical highlights
This setup allows stable production planning, repeatability and controlled handling of architectural aluminium panels.
Bending transforms laser-cut plates into three-dimensional components such as folded panels, profiles and façade elements. Using controlled press brake forming, aluminium parts are bent with precision while maintaining surface integrity.
Because bending is carried out before anodizing, the process avoids common risks associated with post-finish deformation, such as surface marking, grease contamination or micro-damage to the anodized layer.
For complex or project-specific geometries, forming is aligned closely with the supplied design data. Where required, tooling selection and bend sequencing are adapted to ensure dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
Performing laser cutting and bending within the same production environment as anodizing offers a practical advantage: process alignment without surface compromise.
By controlling forming and surface treatment under one roof, handling steps are reduced, contamination risks are minimised and surface consistency is preserved throughout the workflow. This is especially relevant for visible façade elements where finish quality and uniformity are critical.
The result is a more predictable outcome, both technically and visually, without altering the original design intent.
