How to Save Money on Laser Cut Parts

This series was filmed and edited by Keaton Bowlby

In this episode of Cutting Corners with Jim and Jake, we’re diving into the best ways to save time, save money, and maximize your results with the SendCutSend system. From material hacks to busting common myths, we’ve got tips that will benefit everyone.

We start by answering some of the most common questions: How can you save money on parts? What’s the best way to prototype without breaking the bank? And why is it sometimes better to order before noon? Discover how features like SendCutSend’s material cost calculator and prototyping materials like chipboard and hardboard can help you refine your design while keeping costs down.

We also share insights on why bigger parts don’t always mean bigger costs, how to leverage our fast lead times, and why you should think twice before overcomplicating designs. And if you’re not CAD-savvy, no worries—we’ve got alternatives like Parts Builder and even custom design services for those just starting out.
