Will there be tapering present on my parts?
Yes, it is possible your parts thicker than 0.250” will have a slight taper from top to bottom. The thicker the material, the more it will be tapered. SendCutSend’s state-of-the-art laser cutting and waterjet cutting technology is able to reduce the amount of taper during the process, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
| Material Thickness | Taper |
| <.250” | .001”-.002”, top to bottom |
| ≥.250” | .003”-.005”, top to bottom |
| ≥0.375” | 0.004”-0.008”, top to bottom |
| ≥0.500” | 0.008″-0.010″, top to bottom |
