Can you cut intricate designs?

If you have an intricate, delicate, or complex design, check to see that it meets our density guidelines. Here are some tips for designing successful parts:

  • We recommend removing no more than 50% of the parent material
    • this helps prevent warping in laser cut metals
    • for CNC and waterjet cut materials, this helps prevent vibration while cutting
Less material removed versus more material removed

  • Geometry should be well supported within the design
Simpler versus intricate designs

If your design is too delicate to produce, our applications team will place your order on hold and request that you revise. Take a look at our other guidelines as well to ensure your files are cut-ready!
