Hello everyone!

I’m wanting to get a part cut in 2mm stainless steel, and then I want to bend the two parts around to create the two archs in the picture. Once its all bend the piece'll measure 12mm by about 15mm

Any advice you’ve got in how I could make these would be very much appreciated

Thanks everyone

Hi Claire, welcome to the forum. Posting photos is a little convoluted, how to revealed here.

You say you are going to get the part cut rather than do it yourself, you could also look at laser cutters that offer a bending/folding service as well as the cutting, many do offer both.

If doing it yourself as well as a photo an idea of what tools and equipment you have available would save some wasted answers if all you have is a kitchen table and multitool.
