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 |
