The MN panels are pricey, certainly in small quantities - for one sheet of less than 2 metres squared they quoted me £600 - maybe 3 or 4 times the cost of the flat sheets of stainless steel they are made from. Their quote is so much their sales person claimed because of "set up costs".
I reckon that MN don't have any competition in this market so they can charge what they like.
I would need 5 or 6 of those sheets and I am thinking this would cost me too much.
It's not a case of no competition. What you are asking for is not as simple as you suggest nor is it an easy task, I have access the very latest 7 axis Pressbrake, and with the best will in the world folding these will end up using more sheets, through wastage, you only have to be off a tiny faction on a few of the folds and it all goes to pot. It would eat time, time that could be spent earning money on jobs that are far easier to do.
Either stump up or ...
