News and guides: what we write about
News consists of short posts about machines and changes at the ECAD plant at ul. Elektronowa 6 in Lodz: what we cut on our 12 kW fibre laser, when the tube and profile laser will launch, and which orders we are quoting right now. For machines not yet in operation, we provide the planned date and state clearly that it is a plan.
Guides answer the questions we hear during order quotations. We explain how to prepare files for laser cutting and bending, how to match the cutting method to the material and material thickness, and what to include in your enquiry so the quote is fast and accurate.
Our posts cover what we do at the plant: laser, plasma and waterjet cutting, sheet metal as well as tube and profile bending, welding and CNC machining. We do not publish fixed prices up front because a quote depends on the material, material thickness, batch size and post-cutting operations. Details are available on the cutting and bending price list page.
Do you have a drawing or a 3D model? Send it via our quote form: we accept PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES files, photos, as well as ZIP and 7Z archives, up to 10 files and 100 MB.
