Preventing or fixing dense nodes in your design file results in better edge quality for your parts. Learn what nodes are, why they can affect your part, and how to prevent or correct excessive nodes in your design file.
Parts with our linear deburring service will have sharp edges. The surface will be smooth and “cleaned up” from laser cutting, but there will be no edge softening.
At this time SendCutSend does not chamfer, bevel, or 3D machine the edges of parts. We only offer 2D perpendicular cuts and cannot produce any kind of chamfered or radiused edge options.
We offer linear deburring for eligible laser cut parts. If your part qualifies for linear deburring, it will be automatically selected at checkout. You can deselect it if you prefer to not have your part deburred.
We soften the edges of laser cut parts and remove burrs on small parts through a ceramic tumbling process. Please note, this is not a finishing process and does not guarantee a uniform finish on the individual parts.
SendCutSend’s laser cutting methods prevent major burr and dross buildup, but both imperfections are still unavoidable parts of the manufacturing process. Read through our material pages to see examples of dross and burr in different thicknesses.
We use tabs to keep your parts from falling out of the parent sheet during laser cutting, waterjet cutting, or CNC routing. Remove tabs by sanding them off by hand, or using a metal file. Please note, we’re unable to provide custom tab or lead-in/out placement.
At this time SendCutSend does not offer beveling services or 3D cutting. This includes cutting/grinding a taper into knife blades. We only offer 2D perpendicular cuts and cannot produce any kind of beveled or radiused edge options.
Yes, it is possible your parts thicker than 0.250” will have a slight taper from top to bottom. The thicker the material, the more it will be tapered. SendCutSend’s state of the art laser cutting and waterjet cutting technology is able to reduce the amount of taper during the process, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
Everything you need to know to design for laser-cutting, CNC routing, bending, and tapping.
Everything from software-specific tutorials to material selection tips.
We have sheet metals, plastics, composites, and wood/boards for every project.
