Shape the material for the work ahead
Cutting & press brake forming
Plasma cutting, shearing, saw cutting, ironworker work, and press brake forming.
Cut and form the part the project needs
High-definition plasma, shearing, saw cutting, ironworker processing, and press brake forming prepare material for parts and assemblies. Machine fit depends on the material, geometry, size, and next operation.
Material needs accurate cutting before downstream workA formed part needs a practical bend sequenceMultiple material-processing steps need a clear handoff

Useful questions
What material thickness can Barnes cut or form?
Capacity depends on the process, material, geometry, and machine. Send the drawing and material requirements so the shop can review the specific work.
Which drawing files should I send?
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP/STP, and clear images are useful starting points. We’ll confirm the working file needed for the specific process.

Start with the right file and material
We confirm the drawing revision, stock, geometry, and next operation before the first cut or bend.
- Confirm file and revision
- Plan setup and processing order
- Verify critical geometry
