Métallerie Serrurerie Kopko: the customized parts expert who trust TopSolid’Steel

2 Feb 2023 | Steel

Founded in 2017 in Reims, Métallerie Serrurerie Kopko, also known as MSK, deploys its know-how and expertise in creating custom metal structures. Glass roofs, staircases, gates, metal doors and joinery, made-to-measure furniture, glass floors, and ceilings… MSK aims to enhance various spaces with distinctive elements, whether it’s an entrance hall, walkway, or contemporary furniture. From feasibility studies to 3D design and manufacturing, MSK relies on TopSolid’Steel to comprehensively fulfill its customers’ requirements. Let’s focus on this successful collaboration.

Métallerie serrurerie Kopko: exceptional craftsmanship in fine metalwork

Specializing in designing and manufacturing complex metal structures, MSK provides aesthetic and customized solutions. MSK’s core principle is to fully align with the desires of its professional and private customers, bringing their projects to life exactly as envisioned. While the company’s main products are interior and exterior glass and steel joinery, it also creates a wide range of staircases and ornamental metalwork. Passion, attention to detail, and the pursuit of perfection guide every stage of work in the workshop, where teams combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques.

Métallerie Serrurerie Kopko’s work covers the full range of metalwork. This includes ironwork for architectural embellishments like railings, grilles, art pieces, and design objects as well as locksmithing for various locking devices.

These different specialties enables the company to work on metal joinery and complex structures, often combining metal with other materials such as glass. Whether it is steel, bronze, brass, stainless steel, or other materials, MSK has developed proficiency in working with a wide range of materials, with an infinite variety of textures, patinas, and finishes, to meet our customers’ every need.

The range of CAD, CAM, ERP and PDM TopSolid solutions

Today, the company has 6 employees. MSK’s customers are 60% private individuals and 40% professionals. Often accompanied by interior designers, private customers seek unique pieces to enhance their interiors. At the same time, businesses see MSK’s work as a powerful communication tool to differentiate their offices or high-traffic areas. “Regarding professional customers, we have champagne houses and stores like Ikea and Vinci. We’ve also worked on projects abroad, notably in Barcelona and Tokyo, where we produced lanterns for a restaurant”, explains Kévin Kopko, 30 y.o., founder of MSK.

The only limit to MSK’s projects is their clients’ imagination. To answers to this wide variety of projects, MSK needed CAD software that would allow them to bring any project to life. That’s why Métallerie Serrurerie Kopko adopted TopSolid’Steel in November 2020.

How does MSK saves time with TopSolid’Steel?

“I chose TopSolid because I know that it offers limitless possibilities to create anything you want with this software” says the MSK manager. He designs staircases, skylights, glass floors, and other custom projects using the software. What does Kévin Kopko like best?

The time saved, thanks to TopSolid’Steel. He particularly likes the component library and its wide range of profiles: Jansen, for example, or everything about screws from Würth.

TopSolid’Steel has plenty of useful features: “When we design our staircases, we use family components. “We’ve created several types of steps: wood, metal, and glass. We just have to import them when we design our staircases, and they are automatically parameterized during the design phase” explains Kévin Kopko.

TopSolid’Steel’s unrivaled CAD software also provided MSK’s customers with an unmatched level of  immersion. They can enjoy realistic renderings and the ability to place 3D structures in photos. Kévin Kopko emphasizes: “The Realistic 3D rendering in TopSolid has already enabled us to close deals! This feature simplifies the presentation of projects to customers, making it much more intuitive and user-friendly”.

 

MSK and TopSolid: a continued and successful partnership

Kevin Kopko first attended a TOPSOLID training session to learn how to use the software. Then a TOPSOLID technician spent 2 days at the MSK premises. During this methodological training, he offered practical solutions to address the problems encountered by the users.

 

After 2 years using TopSolid Steel, MSK is still very satisfied. “With TopSolid’Steel, I can design a part more quickly” says Kevin Kopko. “Moreover, TopSolid’Steel is fun to use, and facilitates communication with subcontractors, such as laserists. I’m particularly satisfied with Arthur’s great availability, the TOPSOLID sales representative for our sector”.

Métallerie Serrurerie Kopko also values the availability of the hotline. The teams know that if an issue arise, they can promptly reach a qualified person on the phone and get assistance.

In the future, MSK intends to invest in new premises to accommodate the installation of new laser-cutting machines, which could be operated using TopSolid modules.

Métallerie Letourneau, an expert in the manufacture of metal structures

 

Specialized in the production of metal structures, from computer-aided design to installation, Métallerie Letourneau offers customized solutions to manufacturers, architects as well as individuals and communities. The company designs various and varied equipment for the interior design of traditional homes, architects’ houses, industrial premises and local authority buildings.

Founded in 2010 by Simon Letourneau, its current manager, and now made up of a dozen people, the company located in the Burgundy region, manages all types of metalwork manufacturing projects, from the simplest to the most complex.

 

Variety of services offered by Métallerie Letourneau

 

The SME offers a wide range of services, constantly adapted to each of its customers; it builds and installs metal structures intended for the development of their interior and exterior spaces: staircases, gates, doors, railings, pergolas, awnings, glass partitions, etc.

Surrounded by a team of seasoned experts, the young manager in his thirties, creates unique, tailor-made and personalized equipment, integrating various materials (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.). And to provide a turnkey solution and impeccable quality to its customers, the company frequently collaborates with all areas of the building industry. The manager models the different parts in the design department and creates the assemblies, all using the latest version of TopSolid’Design.

Even if the “functional” aspect of their equipment is essential, it undoubtedly has a decorative purpose; as a result, Métallerie Letourneau makes it a point of designing resolutely aesthetic works that will blend in perfectly with their customers’ interior designs and the architecture of the building.

Providing a wide range of services is an asset for the company, but it also represents a real challenge: the engineers must be able to bring to life all the equipment previously imagined for their customers.

 

TopSolid’Design: the ideal software to design large-scale metal structures 

To date, the company uses TopSolid’Design CAD software to design all their parts and assemblies; this software solution allows them to manage all types of projects, from the most classic to the most ambitious; thanks in particular to the large assembly management feature, the company can manage the modeling of very large assemblies.

Before making his choice, the head of the metalworking company analyzed the CAD software market at length. What he was looking for above all, was a simple to use, intuitive software that would allow him to manage all his customers’ projects. He also needed a robust solution with extensive and powerful design along with simulation capabilities.

TopSolid’Design is both simple and very powerful. Its intuitive interface guarantees its users a quick start and easy and optimal use, without unnecessary waste of time. This tool includes an infinite number of features that allow it to manage complex projects.

This solution has the advantage of being very ergonomic: thanks to its dashboard listing the latest documents and current projects, you have an overview of your current projects at a glance. Moreover, to design your sheet metal parts and assemblies, you will appreciate its sparse, very functional and customizable interface which is adapted to your needs; you can easily add or remove some features, as you wish, to lighten the interface.

Securing your designs was an asset that seduced the Burgundy company. The design of your parts is fully secured thanks to the integrated PDM (Product Data Management) which will ensure the complete management of all your data. You do not lose any information, all data is saved, no matter how it is manipulated or modified.

This application manages all files, links between parts and assemblies as well as all the changes made to the project: if you move a file, rename the documents, everything is saved automatically.

TopSolid’s integrated PDM allows you to manage large-scale projects with complete peace of mind. Let’s say you want to go back to the original project for some reason. With TopSolid’s integrated PDM solution, you are protected against data loss: you can restore an earlier version or recover the original version. You can easily reuse elements from other designs to re-inject them into other projects, which guarantees exceptional productivity benefits.

For Métallerie Letourneau, this integrated solution was a decisive factor in the final choice: convinced of the importance of data security, the company was immediately reassured.

 

Conclusion 

It is a great satisfaction for TOPSOLID to see that the software allows Métallerie Letourneau to access various and varied markets, and to be able to respond to the demands and quality requirements of major customers such as SNCF.
