  • Reduce the number of holes or “pierces”
  • Eliminate duplicate lines and unnecessary geometry
  • Keep your design smaller than 46” in any axis
  • Use thinner materials
  • Adjust quantity to avoid minimum order prices

Sometimes a design can benefit from a few small tweaks that will lower the price substantially. Read more about these tips for saving money on your parts and join our mailing list for access to exclusive promotions!
