The fabrication of this stool was made possible with the ELECT150 tube bender and the LT-FREE 5-axis laser cutting cell.

The most difficult element is the fabrication of the central support, which involves   
bending a stainless-steel tube of 110 mm in diameter with a 90 mm central line radius.

The combination of bending and 3D laser cutting demonstrates the potential these integrated technologies can provide in creating a unique part  
whose shapes challenge the limits.
