a price for bending metal in seconds online\"}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>After you upload a .STEP file, our system first detects the metal thickness. So all you have to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/fractory.com\/materials\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">choose the right material for the application<\/a> and the needed quantity.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it recognises if the part has bends or not. In case it doesn&#8217;t, it just gives you the price for a cutting job. So drawings are not necessary for either process.<\/p>\n<p>If the sheet has bends, like most engineering parts do, our platform identifies them. Fractory&#8217;s system performs the unbending to generate a flat pattern. Thus, we can <a href=\"https:\/\/fractory.com\/laser-cutting-quote\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give you a quote on both cutting and bending<\/a> at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure about the capabilities of different <a href=\"https:\/\/fractory.com\/press-brake-tooling\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press brake tooling<\/a>, ask our engineers for advice. They can tell you if something can be produced or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Why now?<\/h2>\n<p>So, two more <a href=\"https:\/\/fractory.com\/new-years-resolutions\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resolutions for 2019<\/a> have been fulfilled &#8211; we can quote STP files and bending. It took us quite a while to get here but it has always been a goal of ours.<\/p>\n<p>First we had to make sure that the cutting prices are actually accurate. Giving rough prices for each production step ends with a skewed final cost. The cutting process was now precise, so it was time to move to the next target.<\/p>\n<p>We hired Kaur to work on the STP quoting. He led the team on the instant quoting for bending frontier. The developers managed to\u00a0solve the problem and package it in a way that is ready for use.<\/p>\n<p>The moment has arrived &#8211; start saving your time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally the day has arrived!
