I just got my first order cut at SendCutSend, and I highly recommend them, could not have had a better experience. This is an awesome resource for anyone with basic design tools. I submitted art drawn in Adobe Illustrator, and prototyped it in paper cut on a Glowforge first to make sure my folds were working. Not only was turnaround fast and quality perfect, but the help team contacted me before they cut my design with suggestions for improvements -- and they were 100% right to do so. They shared a better hinge arrangement that made my folding design work much better and saved me from wasting money on a bad prototype. I resubmitted directly to the help team over email without having to modify my order and five days later the products arrived. They worked perfectly the first time.

First time ordering parts from SendCutSend and I am beyond impressed. I had an issue where my drawing was being scaled on upload. My emails were returned almost immediately and the issue was resolved painlessly. I was very happy with the price of my order ($100) compared to the price of raw material from metals depot ($60). The parts were very clean, deburred, and even grained! I did not expect such a professional product. The laser cut edges are as-expected for laser cutting 0.500” steel. Not perfect like a machined surface but very consistent. I had thru holes drawn at 1.500” that measured between 1.500” and 1.502”. Works for me!I placed my order on a Wednesday morning and had parts at my door by the following Monday evening. Packaged very professionally with a brochure and a sticker.I highly recommend SendCutSend and will be spreading the word about their service.

Just wild that it can be this painless to get such professional parts made as a hobbyist. Can't recommend highly enough.Super convenient and fast. I love how easy it is to quote and order. Uploaded files save to my account and it's really nice to be able to look at them and re-order or confirm what versions of files I've had made. The whole process is just so much simpler than I expected getting custom cut metal would be, especially of this quality. It's very straightforward and accessibly priced. Very few things actually necessitate talking to a person to produce, but when you do have to contact them with specific needs, they are friendly and efficient.

Unbelievable quality. Awesome packaging. Shipped within two days. I love these people!

First time using this service. Price was excellent and the shipping fast. The packaging was very impressive and the metal results were outstanding! I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to my friends.

Very, very fast responses from them. Always feels personal, and like they care about the customer. Recently they REDUCED the costs of certain materials making it more affordable than ever. Now this site offers the cheapest, fastest shipped out, most accurate plates that I have ever used for my keyboard hobby. I wouldn't recommend any other service knowing that sendcutsend exists

Unbelievable customer service, support, quality, speed - everything. These guys (and gals) really are everything you ever hope to find in a company that you choose to work with. Over the course of three months, they worked with me on three different projects/ideas, with truly exceptional patience and punctuality (our email thread grew to be impossibly long, and I asked them SO. MANY. QUESTIONS). Their design team was willing to create and tweak my proofs in any way I ever requested, and not once did I get the impression that they were growing tired or impatient with me (in spite of all the odds...). Then, not only were production and shipping impressively fast, but the quality of the pieces I received was absolutely top notch. Each time I received them was an absolute joy.I can’t recommend them highly enough. I actually hope I have another project in my lap soon so that I can work with them again. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to everyone at SendCutSend!! My project will be truly epic because of you!

Back in October 2019, I ordered an aluminum mechanical keyboard plate from SendCutSend. Submitting my order was simple and fast, and it shipped quickly. Although the piece itself was quality, there were a few imperfections I hadn't noticed until a few months later.When I emailed them about it in January 2020 (with details and later pictures), to my surprise they were willing to send me a replacement! I'd like to recognize Drew for helping and being patient with me; the responses were timely and they were willing to recognize my issue even though it was 3 months later.Amazing support. I would definitely recommend if you need any metalwork done.

I am rebuilding an old 3D printer and needed a custom cut print bed for it. I went to a local shop that quoted me over double what #SendCutSend charged me, and shipping was included. What I got was WAY above my expectations. I had read on their site that there could be some flaws in the surface of the metal, but I found NONE. The part was perfectly cut and was a perfect fit. If I need other metal cutting done, these are the guys I am going to use.

I received my order today. I don't do this often, but I had to stop and take a minute write you and your team a big fat THANK YOU! for restoring my faith in efficient US manufacturing.Every part of my first experience with your company was top notch from start to finish. I was absolutely blown away with the customer service, fast shipping, amazing packaging and the part quality. You guys even de-burred the parts for me!I will be a returning customer and recommending you to anyone I can...Thanks again!Rick JohnstonGrass Valley, CA

Still hard to believe how easy it was to get a precision-cut Corten steel design from SendCutSend. I wanted a piece of scrap steel so I could experiment with weathering it and they were happy to oblige. Great experience!

Lynn Azali

23:07 13 Nov 19

speedy, easy, cheap and everything you need for your custom project. i love this service. I've ordered three times and plan to keep placing more project orders with them. Thank you, sendcutsend!!

Literally sent my design to these guys and they brought it from design to real life in under a week! They couldn’t be more nice and helpful, and update you daily. Any other designs I want cut in metal will be done through SendCutSend!! Great job guys!!! A+

Jeremy Williams

Wow!! I just got some parts I had cut. The packaging is top-notch! I was not expecting the parts to come shrink wrapped.Quality work! I’ll definitely use their service again!

Couldn't be happier with the metal sign we purchased for the entry of our business! The staff was all very informative, professional, timely, and overall great to work with. I highly recommend this company!!!!

I had them cut a switch plate for a TGR Alice clone from 1.6mm brass sheet. I paid $15 extra for their micro finish treatment but the plate arrived so badly tarnished it made no difference. I would not recommend getting the extra finishing for copper or brass materials as they tend to develop patina.I was very happy with the accuracy. My Zealios switches popped in snug without a struggle, and all the screw holes lined up perfectly.I hope they will consider offering materials like Carbon Fibre and FR4 in their lineup, and that they'll start shipping internationally.

Needed a custom sign made for a retirement gift and was running out of time . Came across their website and contacted via email. WOW ! What amazing customer service! They got back to me immediately and in less than a week they had my custom sign made and delivered to me in less than a week ! The sign was EXACTLY what I wanted and Perfect. My boss loved it ! Highly recommend!!!

Adam Winsor

02:16 03 Nov 19

Needed to make a custom stainless steel sign. It was faster and cheaper to get the finished cutout (with all mounting holes included!) from SendCutSend, than to get a sheet of raw metal delivered from a supplier and do all the cutting and drilling myself.

Mike Mayfield

17:06 23 Oct 19

Was shopping locally to get a custom ABS reluctor ring made and it would take 3 weeks and cost a fortune. Thank goodness I came across SendCutSend. The whole process was great and I look forward to doing business again.

Fantastic service and very high quality cutting. Also quick and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Fast service and shipping, my parts were clean and packaged professionally. The price for the service included shipping, and was extremely reasonable. I could not get a better price locally, or at any other online rapid service. This company offers a great service which I'll be using again in the future. I'm extremely glad I found them because they enabled me to take a design to prototype in a very short period of time, and with a limited budget. From order to parts delivered in 3 days shipped across county, you can't beat that.

Pat Mackey

Fantastic service at a great price. Shipping was faster than I expected, and free. So happy this place exists.

Found sendcutsend almost by accident on the web and boy am I glad I did. My first order with them was perfect. The timing and price were fantastic. We'll be using them again in the near future!!

Nicholas DiVitto

12:17 03 Oct 19

I have nothing but good things to say about SendCutSend. They always surprise me with how fast they get my parts cut and shipped, and the quality has always been excellent. I've placed 4 or 5 orders so far and will continue to utilize this service for my projects in the future.

Ive ordered many parts from this company and all i can say is the service is beyond excellent, shipping is fast and prices are great! Definitely will be returning for more orders as long as they keep cutting!

Greg Hale

This is an excellent service and a great way to produce parts and test ideas quickly and cost effectively. My parts arrived super quick, were dead on accurate, and packaged beautifully in a vacuum sealed container. Will be buying from again for sure!

Willie Hall

WOW! From thought to delivery in a week. Ordering was simple with an instant online quote. Numerous web updates of job progress. Tracking and delivery by USPS. Best of all the product was perfect. EXCELLENT Experience.

Ordered pieces cut in stainless steel for an art project. They helped make sure my files were optimized for the best product, emailing with me over the weekend. They also kept me informed of each step of the process including where my product was during shipping. The pieces look great. Very pleased!

Charlie Neal

These guys took a design that I provided and did a fantastic job of lazer cutting it into reality. The emblem(s) are perfect!! Strongly recommend them because they are incredible. Will definitely use them again.

Graham McDonald

16:06 21 Aug 19

The team at SCS is incredible. From the initial impression of their site, all the way through to receiving our signs, the entire customer experience was professional, prompt, and kind. They were able to help us select the best material for our application, and also suggest a finish (that I did not see listed on the website - anodized) to meet the goal of our desired look. They knew that our deadline was tight, and after a slight delay in production went ahead and expedited the signs to make sure we received them on time. The finished product is amazing, and we have already gotten so many compliments on them - thank you Send Cut Send!

I needed a short run of laser cut .062" stainless parts for my race car and was about to send the files to the same local sheet metal house I've used forever. But the last parts I got from them had flatness issues, they'd been overly finished post-process , and they took three weeks to turn the job. So I did a quick search for laser cutting services, and since SendCutSend had by far the best and easiest online quotation interface, I saved the SolidWorks part file as a .dxf and sent it. Seconds later when I saw the price, it was so low I assumed it must have been in error. But no, it was correct. Then came a pop-up with a 10% discount which made it more compelling. The promise of a 3-day turn sealed the deal. and I placed the order. a couple hours later I had a design-engineer's bad moment and realized I'd sent the wrong revision part files. I emailed the link in the confirmation email, attached the correct file and asked if it could be used instead. I got a friendly, reassuring reply early the next morning, and the perfect parts were in the mailbox, perfectly packed, when I returned home 3 days later. I'n my professional career I've dealt with a lot of laser cut sheet metal, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with SendCutSend.

Love this company. They far exceeded my expectations in all regards - Quality, Timeliness, Communication, Cost. Can't say enough and definitely plan on using them for all of my metal cutting needs. My new custom cut letters are already installed and I am still waiting on estimates from other sign companies.

Noah McNeely

Fantastic work at a great price. Quick turnaround. Product QuickStart will be ordering more prototype parts here in the future!

Temple Rea

Got my part quickly and affordably. I will definitely order again. Thank you!

Gary Swindell

18:27 11 Jul 19

They have cut about 8 parts for me in the last 10 days. Turnaround time is amazing, price is very good, and the parts have all been perfect. Can't do better in my estimation.

Zach Patton

13:41 08 Jul 19

I used SendCutSend to design and cut some custom necklace pendants, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. They worked closely with me on getting the design right and suggesting a better metal that would work better for my project than the one I'd selected. The finished product really exceeds my expectations!

Will Lunsford

04:10 02 Jul 19

Incredible quality and pricing. This company far exceeded my expectations and made my product perfectly. Communication was excellent and shipping was fast. Def the best in the market for custom fabrication.

Brian Pfannenstiel

16:28 30 Jun 19

I just wanted to let everyone know that your company exceeded my expectation in every way! From quick email responses, to timely draft of my project, and continuous emails as to status and delivery of my order. I have already recommended your company based on the customer service and amazing product!Thank you, so often these little things are not addressed and it made working with your team an amazing experience.

Simply the best Laser Cutting service. From the ease of use of thier website to quick responses to custom quotes , and speedy delivery, I cannot recommend them enough. The quality of the cuts are far better than my local metal laser shop that I had previously worked with.

Chris Itsell

Fast turnaround. Superb mirror finish on my custom stainless signature tags. Nicely packaged. Even cut a few extra tags after nesting the pieces at no extra charge. Thanks SendCutSend!

I love SendCutSend; they are my new favorite business. Incredible manufacturing service and incredible customer service. The prices are right and the quality is stellar - this is the kind of business that will propel our country forward into the new age of manufacturing. They even gave me some sweet ray guns.

Very happy with the quality of the parts we received. Turn around was much quicker than I expected. Parts were packaged to insure they weren't damaged in shipping and got a laser gun key chain fob to boot. Thanks

Fast service. Straightforward pricing. Responsive support. I don't think of anything I'd change. Except maybe make them across the street from my shop.

I ordered three pieces (so far). They arrived on-time, on-budget, with great design, and excellent customers service. I will be ordering more products in the next few days. Legit 5 star biz!

Just upload a drawing and in about a week receive perfect clean cut parts. I will be ordering many more parts from SendCutSend.

ApeksMedia

03:17 17 May 19

Overall my experience has been great, I've noticed a slight slow down in shipping speeds but i think that's understandable to an increased work load. All my pieces are cut clean and precise.I have also noticed a big upgrade in packaging quality, and the choice of materials and thickness is expanding as well. Great job so far, keep it up!

Scott Rader

18:16 15 May 19

Fantastic results quickly achieved - seamless from upload to delivery, and very fine scaled-down vectors were preserved. The top-right bass is heading towards a US quarter, so you can see the fine detail in stainless steel.

Caught an ad online for SendCutSend and had a project I’ve been thinking of doing for a while and thought I’d try them out. I had some questions so their online quoter wouldn’t work for me, but they were responsive to my emails and generally very helpful and accommodating answering. I ended up doing a smaller test piece since I haven’t welded thin stainless steel before, but hopefully I can get the big project ordered soon. Production time was fast and order arrived safely.
