A view of the metal pieces sitting in their actual location (although they will be sandwiched between two wooden layers in the final product).

Same thing, 'right way up'. Note the precision curve cutting of the water jet.

A close-up view of the bottom, showing the bending achieved by Prestige Metals - very similar to the original. The metal is slightly higher beccause it will fit between the bottom and top wooden pieces, and thus have about one millimetre less width between metal clips and the case.

A close-up view of the top, showing the curvature and relative thickness of the plastic case cover and the metal end.

The complete laptop case cover, upside down, 'top' toward viewer, with the metal ends placed close to their intended place.

A close-up of the metal of the bottom. Note the slight scoring along the edges, due to the water jet. A laser would be no more precise, and would probably scorch or burn the metal. The rough edge can easily be smoothed back with a metal file.
