We’re unable to guarantee the translucency or light diffusion capability of our white laser cut acrylic. To determine if the material is a good fit for your application, we recommend using our Parts Builder to create and order small test pieces.
Export a STEP file from Fusion by first making sure your part design is set up for success with SendCutSend. When your design is ready, click File > Export. In the Type drop down menu, choose the STEP file format. Then click Export.
Please ensure your STEP file contains a single, solid sheet metal body. We cannot accept multiple bodies stitched together / assemblies, or bodies with non-uniform thicknesses. Parts with bending services must have sheet metal rules set up using SendCutSend’s specifications.
Our tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion services can be added to the top or bottom face of the material. We’re unable to offer drilling into the side of a part if you are referring to the cut edge of the material.

Can’t add a service like bending/forming, countersinking, tapping, hardware insertion, deburring, anodizing, plating, or powder coating to your part after uploading your file to our website and selecting a material? There are a number of reasons why this might be the case! General Service Considerations The overall flat part size is too large or
We do not offer white label packaging or drop shipping at this time. Currently all parts ship in SendCutSend branded packaging.
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. Clear or colored acrylic may be protected with plastic film or paper on both sides of the material. Mirrored acrylic will have
We do not offer 4-axis CNC machining or milling at this time. Currently we only offer 2D perpendicular cutting in flat media, and we cannot perform angled or dimensioned cuts. We only cut the materials we carry in stock.
Parts with our free 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. Take a look at the video below to learn more about our linear deburring process! If your parts are tumbled they will have partially softened
We’re unable to send photos of parts in production upon request. This is because we strive for efficient processes with the quickest possible turnaround times. Learn more about order production and lead times on our processing page.
We’re unable to pass delivery instructions along to shipping carriers for you. Instead we recommend one of the following options: 1. Submit delivery instructions to the carrier once your package has shipped When your order’s tracking page indicates the package has shipped, you’ll be able to click a button to see the carrier tracking
We’re unable to send you the scraps or dropout pieces, also known as negative geometry, from parts you order. This is because all material is used during our production process in order to offer the best possible pricing and reduce waste. Additionally, we do not allow common-line nesting. Common-line nesting is the process of
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 addition to the natural beauty of aluminum, copper, brass, and blue temper spring steel, we offer several finishing options. Anodizing Metal Colors
You can confirm available tap sizes for all our materials in a few ways. Here’s how! 1. Thread / Tap Size Chart Our design guidelines include a thread/hole chart showing all of our available sizes and the hole diameter required for each. Click here to get right to it! 2. Processing Minimum / Maximum
At SendCutSend we can make boxes as long as your design meets our guidelines. Customers often create boxes with our CNC sheet metal and plastic bending service.
SendCutSend does not offer counterboring at this time. We do provide countersinking, PEM hardware insertion, and tapping for eligible sheet metals and plastics.
Quantity discounts are automatically applied when quoting parts. While building a cart, you should see savings of 20% or more for 2 or more identical parts in most materials. For deeper discounts, join our mailing list to be notified of limited time deals!
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 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!
If you want to request an unavailable tap size, first confirm whether we offer it in any material. You can see all of our tap sizes here: Thread/Tap Hole Size Chart If we do offer the tap size but you’re unable to add it to a part you want to order, that is typically
At SendCutSend we don’t need technical drawings with callouts thanks to our transparent guidelines and intuitive part configuration. Service definitions applied while building a cart remove the need for traditional CAD drawings. If you attach files to line items before checkout, we will not use them to evaluate your design for manufacturability.
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.
