Furniture and Interior Applications
Furniture and Interior
The furniture and interior industry blends functionality with aesthetics. From office furniture to home interiors, sheet metal fabrication plays a vital role in producing strong frames, decorative panels, and storage solutions. Modern furniture requires precision, design flexibility, and durability to meet customer expectations for both style and long life. FormNCut® machines empower manufacturers to achieve this balance, delivering clean cuts, accurate bends, and high productivity for furniture and interior applications.
Laser Cutting Machines in Furniture & Interior
FormNCut Fiber Laser Cutting Machines are widely used to cut steel, aluminium, and stainless steel sheets for furniture and decorative interiors. Their ability to cut intricate designs with precision makes them ideal for modern furniture manufacturing.
- Steel furniture patterns – Fiber lasers cut decorative patterns for chairs, tables, and partitions, enabling creative designs without compromising strength.
- Decorative panel cutting – Artistic shapes and perforations are cut cleanly, offering design freedom for interior panels and partitions.
- Chair/desk frame cutting – Strong and consistent frame parts are cut precisely, ensuring durability and uniformity in furniture assembly.
Advantages of Laser Cutting Machines
- High precision allows complex decorative designs
- Clean edges reduce finishing work and improve aesthetics
- Faster production cycles compared to mechanical cutting methods
- Ability to cut both thin and thick sheets with equal accuracy
- Supports creative freedom in modern furniture design
Operational Process of Laser Cutting
- Sheet metal is loaded onto the cutting bed.
- CAD designs for furniture patterns or frames are programmed into the CNC controller.
- The fiber laser beam is focused through collimating and focusing lenses.
- Assist gases (oxygen, nitrogen, or air) are regulated to achieve clean cuts.
- Height sensors maintain consistent distance between nozzle and sheet.
- Finished decorative panels or frame parts are unloaded, ready for assembly.
Bending Machines in Furniture & Interior
FormNCut CNC Press Brakes, including Hydraulic Servo Press Brakes and MAPA Panel Benders, are essential for bending sheet metal into cabinets, drawers, and doors. These machines ensure accurate angles and repeatable bends, which are critical for producing modern furniture components.
- Filing cabinet bending – Cabinet drawers and bodies require multiple accurate bends, achieved easily with CNC press brakes.
- Modular kitchen drawers – Press brakes form high‑quality kitchen components with precision, supporting modern modular designs.
- Almirah door bending – Doors are bent straight and warp‑free, ensuring durability and proper fitment.
Advantages of Bending Machines
- CNC control ensures precise angles and repeatable bends
- Strong, durable bends improve product safety and reliability
- Ability to bend both thin and thick sheets with equal accuracy
- Servo systems reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency
- Crowning systems compensate for deflection, ensuring uniform bends
Operational Process of Bending
- Sheet metal is positioned using back gauges and sensors.
- CNC controller programs the bending sequence for cabinets or doors.
- Punch and die tooling apply force to bend the sheet into the required shape.
- Crowning systems adjust for deflection, ensuring uniform bends across the sheet.
- Servo motors deliver smooth, controlled movement for precise bending.
- Finished furniture components are inspected for accuracy before assembly.
Laser cutting ensures clean, distortion‑free edges for creative designs, while bending machines form accurate, warp‑free components. Together, they help manufacturers produce stylish, durable, and high‑quality furniture and interior products that meet modern lifestyle demands.
