At SendCutSend, acrylic and polycarbonate parts are cut and shipped with the manufacturer’s protective film or paper covering intact. Protective coverings will need to be removed when the parts get to you.
At SendCutSend we stock over 15 different sheet metal types in a wide range of thicknesses. Check out our Materials Library to see the variety of colors present in unfinished metals. In
We do not cut tubing or piping. At this time, SendCutSend provides 2D through-cutting in flat media only. Additionally we only cut in-stock materials which include sheet metal, sheet plastics, wood/boards, and composites. Take a look at our Materials Library and Services page to learn more!
We choose the best cutting method for each material, so we aren’t able to use a different cut process upon request for individual orders. See the process by material on our design
We cannot use a smaller CNC router bit size to cut parts upon request. At this time, we cut all CNC routed materials using a 0.125″ bit. All CNC routed materials are
Need to know which metals are magnetic or conductive for your next project? We make it easy for you to confirm material properties. Here’s how! 1. Go to our Materials Library 2.
If you need to know how thick we can cut at SendCutSend, the best way to confirm this is by visiting our Material Minimum and Maximum Sizes chart. There you can find
Due to safety and procedural risks, SendCutSend does not cut or process raw material that is shipped to us from customers. Additionally, we cannot accept raw material or components from vendors such
Many non-ferrous metal materials can be anodized, but aluminum is the best candidate and creates the most successful finish. At this time, we offer three different aluminum alloys for Type II and
When you upload your 2D vector file (DXF, DWG, EPS, or AI format) to our website, the orientation of your part as shown in the part preview will be considered the top
Keep these prep considerations in mind if you’ll be painting or welding your metal parts! If you plan to paint or weld your metal parts after you receive them, you can use
The cut tolerance for each material depends on the cutting process for that material and specific thickness. You can find this information for each stock thickness on the material pages in our
SendCutSend does not offer a food safe production process for any service.
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.
At SendCutSend we provide all of our material options in imperial and metric systems so there’s no confusion on what size material you’re ordering. We offer aluminum, brass, copper, mild steel and stainless steel in numerous gauge sizes.
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 materials, and the maximum and minimum material limitations for post processing (bending, tapping, and deburring).
Every material has its own set of data including thicknesses, common uses, and other specifications. It’s important to understand the material specifications of your chosen material before ordering your part. You can find detailed material data and specifications on our individual material pages.
You can access all of our materials through our materials page or the individual links below. In Summary
We receive material certifications from our supplier, which we can send to you upon request. You can use the certifications to trace the material back to the supplier, but we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of each material certification.
If you want to request certification for any of our materials or have specific questions, reach out to us at support@sendcutsend.com.
ll as 24″ x 36″. The maximum size for freight/shipping is 44″ x 94″. Oversized freight shipping will be quoted at the actual cost. You can find the maximum sizing for each material by visiting our Materials page.
We offer .500″ (1/2″) in a variety of materials. You can view our entire materials catalog here.
At this time, we only cut the options available in our Material Library. However, if you feel that a particular material would be popular, you are welcome to enter it into our
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.
