CNC Bending With Laser-Measured Angles
Our 9-axis CNC press brake measures every bend with a laser while it happens, feeding the controller in real time — angles come out right the first time, without test bends or wasted material. And because our quoting engine knows the die library, your part is checked for manufacturable radii and flange lengths the moment you upload it.
Free, no signup needed. STEP or DXF.
Every quote is manufacturability-verified before you see the price — not a form that emails you back tomorrow.
Capabilities
| Machine | 9-axis CNC press brake with in-process laser angle measurement |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Steel up to 1/2 in (12.7 mm) |
| Materials | Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum — brass, copper and bronze on request |
| Design verification | Bend radius, flange length and relief checks run automatically against our die library at quote time |
| Drawings and tolerances | We read GD&T to ASME Y14.5 — include drawings with your order when tolerances are critical |
Right the first time
Laser angle feedback removes the trial-bend cycle: consistent angles from part 1 to part 1,000.
No surprise rejections
If a flange is too short for the die or a radius will not form in your gauge, the upload tells you immediately — with the geometry highlighted.
Cut and bend in one order
The same pipeline that cuts your blank bends it — one order, one accountable shop, no tolerance games between vendors.
Dimensional quality, verified
Critical dimensions are checked on a 3D measuring arm against your drawing — dimensional quality is controlled on the shop floor, not assumed.
Working to tolerances? Attach a drawing (ASME Y14.5 GD&T welcome) with your order and we inspect what matters before it ships.

Verify and price
Our engine checks every feature against real tooling and prices the part in seconds — material, cutting, bends, welds and finish.
We fabricate and ship
Laser cut, bend, weld, finish, pack and ship from our Querétaro plant — across Mexico and the US.
Typical production for stocked materials: 2–5 business days. Every quote shows its own lead time.
Nearshore by design: fabricated in Querétaro, MX and delivered across the US and Mexico — USMCA-friendly, same-hemisphere lead times, no language barrier.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the bends?
The brake measures each bend with a laser and corrects in process, which holds angles consistent across a batch. For critical tolerances, include a drawing (ASME Y14.5 GD&T is fine) and we will review it before production.
What is the minimum flange length or bend radius?
It depends on gauge and die — which is exactly why the quote engine checks your geometry against the real die library on upload instead of publishing a one-size-fits-all table.
Do you bend stainless and aluminum?
Yes — stainless and 5052 aluminum bend cleanly; we account for springback per material, and polished stainless is handled with protective film.
Can you form parts I design in the browser?
Yes — parts drawn in the MATERIAM studio fold at the same die radii the brake actually uses, so what you preview is what arrives.
Do I need to send a flat pattern?
No. Upload the folded 3D STEP — we compute the flat pattern ourselves at the exact die radius the brake will use, so the blank always matches the finished bend. A DXF of the flat is welcome too if that is what you have.
Can you hit a specific bend radius?
Bends form at the radius of the die that runs them — that is why the quote engine checks your model against the real die library instead of promising arbitrary numbers. If a radius is functional, note it on the drawing and we confirm the closest die before production.
