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

Include photos, material, dimensions, quantity, and what the job has to produce.
- Send the file, drawing, or dimensions
- Confirm material and geometry
- Review the needed processing sequence
- Cut or form the approved work
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 Barnes can confirm fit without relying on a blanket online limit.
Which drawing files should I send?
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP/STP, and clear images are useful starting points. Barnes will confirm the working file needed for the specific process.

How Barnes works
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
