We laser cut (or waterjet cut) all orders in-house in order to deliver the best quality, fastest speeds and lowest cost possible.
We proudly ship anywhere in the USA and Canada.
Make sure all of the geometry in your laser cut part is at least 50% of the material thickness. As an example, if your material is 0.100” thick, the smallest hole you could expect to cut would be 0.050” in diameter. Any interior geometry smaller than 50% of the material thickness will not be
Before you upload your files to SendCutSend, make sure to check for these common problems. As an example, if your material is 0.100” thick, the smallest hole you could expect to cut would be 0.050” in diameter. A safe rule of thumb would be to keep all geometry greater than 1/2 material thickness, and
The minimum and maximum part size we offer changes depending on the material and its thickness. We have put together a chart broken down into four categories (Composites, Metals, Plastics, and Wood) so you can see all this information in the same place. This maximum size limit is determined partially by the machining process

Tabs are used to keep your part from falling out of its nesting during laser cutting. We laser cut a bit of additional material about 0.010”-0.015” thick on the outside of your part. It’s easy enough to break the part out of the sheet metal by hand, but strong enough to hold the part
We compensate for all kerf and line offsets in your design. We change the beam position based on the geometry of the part, and we are able to hold +/- .005″ tolerance or better on most materials. We take care of everything so you don’t have to. Check out our blog post on kerf
Powder coating will add a 7-10 day lead time to your order. If you are ordering both powder coated and non-powder coated parts, split your order into two so we can ship your non-powder coated parts as soon as they’re done being machined. If your powder coated parts are bent, be aware that the
Our pricing is based on a number of factors, including material, material thickness, material weight, quantity, shape (geometry), and the overall design. Follow these tips to get the lowest prices on your laser cut parts: Reduce the number of holes or “pierces” Eliminate duplicate lines and unnecessary geometry Keep your design smaller than 46”
Yes, you can powder coated bent and tapped parts but there are a few things to know. If your powder coated parts are bent, be aware that the die witness marks from the press brake will be visible through the coating. At this time, we cannot plug tapped holes before the parts are powder
Our pre-flight checklist for file setup applies to all our services. Make sure all your part files fit within these guidelines before you send them to us, and we’ll be able to get your parts to you faster and easier. Don’t forget to read up on all our services guidelines as well to make
Materials behave differently during machining, with capabilities and limitations that vary between materials and their thicknesses. That’s why it’s important to understand the tolerance of specific materials when designing your projects to be laser cut. Before uploading your design to our website check out our general maximum and minimum limitations for all of our
