Innovative Sheet Metal Techniques for Greater Efficiency

Innovative sheet metal fabrication in production: modern laser and bending technology for efficient metalworking at Laserteile Online

In the fast-moving world of manufacturing technology, efficiency is everything. Laserteile Online relies on three innovations that together make the difference: laser cutting with fibre technology on the Bystronic ByStar Fiber, CNC bending with a 6-axis back gauge and live angle measurement, and online calculation with an instant price. The result: sheet formats up to 3,000 × 1,500 mm, delivery from 2 working days, and same-day express production when needed.

Laser cutting with fibre technology

One of the biggest highlights in the portfolio is laser cutting with modern fibre technology. Compared with conventional CO2 lasers, fibre lasers aren't just more energy-efficient – they're also faster, more precise and lower-maintenance. Those advantages translate directly into shorter production times and more cost-effective manufacturing.

Specifically, Laserteile Online works with the Bystronic ByStar Fiber – a fibre laser that processes sheets up to 3,000 × 1,500 mm. It cuts steel up to 20 mm, stainless steel up to 15 mm and aluminium up to 12 mm thick. Because standard materials such as steel, aluminium and stainless steel are almost always in stock in every thickness, production can sometimes start within 24 hours when material is available.

Seamless integration through software

The machines are controlled by CAD/CAM software that communicates seamlessly with the equipment: your uploaded CAD file becomes the cutting program with no manual conversion step in between. The result is a low-error, fast and economical production workflow that handles even complex orders quickly – from a single part to a full batch.

CNC bending with a 6-axis back gauge and live angle measurement

There's real process innovation in sheet metal bending too: the Bystronic Xpert press brake works with a 6-axis back gauge that automatically positions the sheet exactly for every bend, and live angle monitoring that measures and adjusts the bend angle during forming. Before the bending process, a 3D visualisation shows the finished part – so errors are caught before the first stroke, not after.

The key figures: up to 3 m bend length and 150 t of press force, steel and stainless steel up to 15 mm, aluminium up to 12 mm, and brass on request. The result is bent parts with reproducible accuracy – even for small batches.

Laser welding as a complementary technique

Alongside cutting and bending, laser welding is also part of the technology portfolio. It complements the two core processes whenever individual laser-cut and bent parts need to be welded into finished assemblies – with the laser's typical advantages: concentrated energy input and clean, narrow seams.

Online calculation as a process innovation

Efficiency doesn't start at the machine – it starts with the enquiry. Where drawings traditionally circulate by email and quotes take days, Laserteile Online's online calculator delivers the price instantly – with no registration:

  • Upload a CAD file: DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES or STL, up to 516 MB, also available as a batch or ZIP upload for whole projects
  • Choose material, thickness and quantity – from a single part, minimum order value €50 net plus shipping
  • Calculate add-on options directly alongside: bending, deburring, tumbling, powder coating, threading, grinding
  • See the instant price and order – delivery from 2 working days, same-day express production for a surcharge

Flexibility in application

Whether laser cutting, bending or laser welding – the versatility of these techniques makes it possible to handle a wide range of projects efficiently. Production isn't limited to particular materials or part sizes: from stainless steel showpiece parts to galvanised series parts to HB 400 wear-resistant plate. That makes Laserteile Online a flexible partner for a wide range of industries – from mechanical engineering to structural metalwork.

Saving time and money

The combination of these technologies brings significant improvements in time and cost efficiency: the fibre laser cuts faster and more energy-efficiently, the connected software eliminates manual intermediate steps, and online calculation replaces days of back-and-forth quoting with an instant price. For you, that means less waiting time and more budget for other important aspects of your project.

Conclusion

Sheet metal fabrication isn't what it used to be. Through laser cutting with fibre technology, CNC bending with live angle measurement, and end-to-end digitalisation from calculation through to the machine, Laserteile Online raises efficiency and quality to a new level – and keeps investing in technology to give you the best possible service. The fastest way to see it for yourself: upload a file to the calculator and see your instant price in 60 seconds.
