What are your material maximum and minimum 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).

Can I get material certifications (MTRs/Certs) for my order?

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.
