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 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.
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).
We compensate for all kerf and line offsets in your design. We change the beam position based on the geometry of the part, and we are able to hold +/- .005″ tolerance or better on most materials. We take care of everything so you don’t have to. Our fiber laser beam diameter varies between roughly 0.006″ and 0.010” depending on the material being cut, but you do not need to make any adjustments to your design to compensate for the kerf in the laser cutter.
Your estimated ship date is calculated in real-time in your shopping cart as you add parts and services. Production times for standard orders without additional services like bending or finishing are typically 2-4 business days before shipping.
You don’t need to compensate for kerf in your design since we account for it on our end. However you should consider cut tolerance, material thickness tolerance, and bending tolerances. See the FAQ for more information on kerf and tolerances!
We offer .500″ (1/2″) in a variety of materials. You can view our entire materials catalog here.
We calculate over two dozen factors to give you the most accurate price possible, including material, stock thickness, weight, quantity, and the overall design. Visit our pricing page for complete details!
How quickly you receive your parts will depend on the services added to your order and overall part volume. The estimated ship date for your order is calculated in real-time in your shopping cart as you add parts and services. Then, the estimated ship date is confirmed when you check out.
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.
