Sheet metal cutting and processing in Bologna
Introduction to services and approach
For over fifty years, ARTIL has been a leading provider of sheet metal cutting and processing services in Bologna, offering a structured offering for companies requiring consistent quality, reliable delivery times, and process traceability. Experience gained across multiple industrial sectors and the integration of multiple departments allow us to manage the complete cycle: from computer-aided design to production and assembly of the finished product. The combination of technical expertise and dedicated technologies allows us to meet specific dimensional, finishing, and mechanical performance requirements, while maintaining rigorous control over quality standards.
What the service includes
Main processes and application areas
ARTIL covers the entire spectrum of sheet metal processing: cutting, bending, calendering, edge banding, welding, and assembly. Each phase is carefully planned to reduce rework, minimize waste, and ensure repeatability. The company operates on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper, with thicknesses and sizes managed according to technical specifications and agreed-upon tolerances. The approach is objective: parameters, sequences, and checks are defined for each order, ensuring consistency between prototypes, pre-production runs, and production batches.
- 2D and 3D laser cutting: The 2D laser cutting department uses high-power systems (e.g., TruLaser 3030) for sharp profiles, clean edges, and dimensional stability on formats up to 1500 x 3000 mm. Nesting technology optimizes sheet metal use, with tangible advantages in terms of material costs and time.
- 3D laser cutting (e.g., TruLaserCell 7040) enables three-dimensional processing on formed or pre-shaped components, useful for brackets, casings, cladding elements, and parts with complex geometries. Setting the paths and process parameters allows for pinpoint precision even on varying thicknesses.
- Bending, calendering and edging
- Bending and rolling processes transform flat semi-finished products into components ready for assembly, meeting the nominal angles and linearity required by the project. Edge banding ensures the edges meet strength or safety specifications, promoting manufacturing tolerances and improving the perceived quality of exposed surfaces.
- Welding and assembly
- The welding department integrates TIG and MIG processes with manual 3D laser welding, ensuring controlled joints and consistent finishes. Final assembly completes the process: metal components and accessories are assembled according to the bill of materials, with functional testing and dimensional checks where required. This approach reduces external steps and centralizes responsibility for the result.
Why choose ARTIL for sheet metal processing in Bologna?
The combination of 2D/3D laser technologies, bending, calendering, edge banding, welding, and assembly allows for a single point of contact for the complete cycle. Operational experience, the use of documented standards, and the willingness to share technical specifications help prevent non-compliance and rework. In this context, sheet metal cutting and processing in Bologna becomes a measurable, scalable service aligned with supply chain needs.

Methodology and quality control
Planning, CAM and traceability
Job preparation is performed on CAD/CAM platforms to set repeatable paths, offsets, and compensations. Materials, batches, and key parameters are recorded for each order to ensure traceability and auditability. Dimensional checks are performed in-line or on a sample basis, depending on the tolerance class and the component's intended use.
Safety, repeatability and finishing
Process safety and repeatable results are achieved through clear operating instructions and regular operator training. Finishes (deburring, cleaning, and surface protection where applicable) are tailored to the operating conditions: indoor or outdoor environments, or applications requiring specific hygiene requirements.
