25 years giving shape to sheet metal

JD-Design is the technical studio of Jamal Eddine Dorbani: a quarter of a century of experience in sheet metal forming, at the service of anyone who needs to design and build dies.

The person

Jamal Eddine Dorbani

A qualified industrial technician specialised in sheet metal die design.

I work in industrial design for sheet metal dies and in project management, from the initial drawing to the final product. A path that started on the shop floor, moved through CNC and CAD-CAM programming, and matured over more than twenty years designing cold-formed sheet metal dies.

With JD-Design I offer a direct relationship: no intermediaries between the designer and the people producing, fast turnaround, and support in both Italian and English. Available remotely or on-site in Marostica.

How we work

Values that guide every project

Method first. An efficient die starts with a good work cycle: we study the sequence and strip layout before modelling.

Cost awareness. We design with construction in mind: less scrap, no superfluous stations, simpler maintenance.

Reliability. Respect for agreed deadlines and direct communication at every stage.

Territory

At the heart of the Veneto sheet metal district

Based in Marostica (VI), in the Vicenza area, I work across Veneto and throughout Italy — remotely or on-site — with bilingual support for international clients too.
