B.Scott Manufacturing serves as a bridge to help designers and hobbyists navigate their way to a finished product. We too often come across professionals who don’t understand a designers idea or worse yet don’t care. As designers ourselves, we reject that. Every project is treated with open curiosity. This allows us to think outside the box and be innovative when needed.
Having worked with SendCutSend on numerous complex projects, we are very familiar with their machines/tolerances and know how to best tailor your designs for the highest quality end result. We specialize in custom jewelry/hobby designs as well as tooling. SendCutSend has been great to us and we hope to bring the same level of quality to you. We can’t wait to help make your designs a reality.

Hey, I am Jordan Grimes – a Graphic Designer that resides in the Midwest. I love design, typography, athletics, and the Chicago Bears.
I am a graphic designer with vast experience in branding, logos, typography, and athletic design. My work has been used on items as small as a lapel pin all the way to billboards.
While I may not have the commercial cutting/laser machines at home, I do have a Cricut where I often create my own projects, and gifts! With this capability I have learned a lot of Dos and Dont’s for file setup and creation.
Let’s work together on your next logo/graphic/signage project!

30+ years in the design industry, ranging from movie props, industrial model making, furniture to User Interface design. Currently I have a small CNC metal shop focusing on custom automotive and product prototyping. I get to make cool stuff.
Originally from the UK I’ve lived in SF for the past 25 odd years, working in all areas of the design community here. Movie props to User interfaces, pretty much done it all.
If you have a product idea that needs developing or simply need a file prepping for Send Cut Send, I’m more than happy to chat – preferably over a nice cup of tea.
For the last 5 years I’ve had a small workshop in the Mission District where I’ve been working on custom and modern classic motorcycles and cars. Designing one-off and small batch run parts and pieces for the custom market. I’ve also worked on various ‘Tech’ company prototypes in the mobility sector, jewelry designs and even soft goods – American denim workshop aprons.
I’ve used SendCutSend frequently for my projects and am very familiar with their materials and file requirements. I work in Fusion 360 (Autodesk) their sheet metal suite lends itself nicely to SCS output. I’ve also used Adobe Illustrator since it came on 2 floppy discs 🙂
We are a custom, high performance automotive parts maker, creating unique parts through the use of in-house additive manufacture and 3D scanning processes. We are capable of both one-off projects for truly unique builds, as well as volume manufacture. For SendCutSend customers we can assist with creating files that are perfect for 3D printing, CNC milling, bending, and more. Here’s a short list of our most used software and the experience we have with it:
Full Solidworks 2021 Suite – our main workhorse; we’ve used SW since 2015 and are intimately familiar with it as a modeling and rendering tool.
Fusion 360 – great for working with customers who utilize fusion files; this is common due to the free ‘personal use’ license used by many hobbyists.
Peel2CAD – a great program that directly integrates with our scanner to output highly detailed 3D meshes of the scanned components (down to the thousandths of an inch!)
Though few in number, the listed software combined are extremely powerful. We can help with reverse engineering, custom part prototyping and design, or file optimization. We’re happy to work with anyone – from industry leading names to individual tinkerers in their garage that could use a hand bringing their idea into reality.
Our ‘about us’ page here has more info on our background, history, and mission. In addition to our main sales site, we also run a services shop (Reversion Development) for more unique projects that may not be limited to the automotive world. The development site outlines our scanning and printing capabilities in greater technical detail, with specific equipment and services listed.
We’ve been using SCS for quite some time to build brackets and mounts for our components, as well as for personal projects. We utilize SendCutSend’s CNC milled parts as well as the laser cut metals, and have worked with the techs several times for parts optimization. We love the one-stop shopping convenience of cutting, bending, and coating of both one off and higher quantity parts and look forward to expanding our parts line with our partnership.

Sean creates mixed media pieces for conferences, public art, and architecture. He loves integrating lighting elements into pieces and incorporating sound and video elements. His work has been featured in the New York times, and at SXSW, E3, and GDC amongst many other locations.
Metal bending for unusual applications is Sean’s specialty. Sean has made a career out of using stacked sheet metal parts to eliminate structural members, welds, and to create cleaner finishes on art pieces. Sean’s mastery of bent elements allows him to accomplish projects with a much higher level of complexity than many other fabricators.
Sean has run his own design/build studio in Oakland for 7 years, and has a background in engineering. Sean’s favorite styles incorporate deco and geometric elements, and he has an absolute love of metal patina and fine finish architectural metal work.
Sean is a master in Inventor, Solidworks, Rhino, Fusion, and Illustrator, and knows how to pick the right tools for the job. Sean sends about $6,000-$7,000 a month in metal laser volume to accomplish his projects, has his own 7-ax CNC press brake and is intimately aware of the capabilities and limitations of using these tools to accomplish amazing projects!
