Can you make boxes?
At SendCutSend we can make boxes as long as your design meets our guidelines. Customers often create boxes with our CNC sheet metal and plastic bending service.
Welcome to SendCutSend! We’re excited to help you bring your ideas to life using our laser and waterjet cutting services.

Upload your CAD design, get an instant quote, we manufacture it and ship it right to your door. All within 2-4 days for standard orders.
We currently only work with 2D vector files. These files need to be in 1:1 scale, in .dxf, .dwg, .ai, or .eps format. There should only be one part per file, and only the cut lines for the part you wish us to produce.
Make sure your file is set up for our lasers by following our Design Guidelines. Get tips on how to prepare your artwork for each of our cutting services that we provide. We also have additional design criteria listed on each of the Materials Pages.
If you don’t have a DXF file for laser cutting, no problem! Our fully customizable laser cutting templates allow you to select, customize and order a variety of parts from simple brackets to house numbers in a matter of minutes.
We offer a variety of finishing processes and services to get your parts looking exactly how you imagine. Familiarize yourself with our services and guidelines before uploading your design.
Choose anodizing for lightweight corrosion resistance. Our convenient Class II anodizing service adds durability and character to your laser-cut parts.
We know your projects are multi-dimensional. Get freshly bent metal parts, right off the machine.
For flush surfaces, there’s countersinking. Increase the lifespan of your part and preserve your hardware from long-term wear.
Let SendCutSend and PEM fasteners set your parts up for success with self-clinching nuts, studs, and stand-offs.
Protect your designs with plating. Zinc electroplating helps defend your parts from rust while increasing strength and resistance to wear.
Custom powder coating gives your laser and waterjet cut parts a bold, long-lasting finish and protective layer which provides corrosion, oxidation, and damage resistance.
Utilizing specialized, automated equipment, we precisely laser-cut a hole, create some threading, and send you on your way with your completed part.
Our laser cut deburring/finishing process is included at no cost because we want you to have good-looking parts when they arrive at your door.
We can cut just about anything, but there are certain material specifications we need to meet for our lasers to cut their best. While we provide free 3-5 day shipping on all standard orders and $19 shipping to Canada, we have some shipping limitations as well.
We also offer waterjet cutting and cnc routing. The good news is that we will always select the best machine for your project that will cut your parts with efficiency and at the most affordable rate. Here’s a breakdown of which service is best suited for different projects and materials.

SendCutSend does not offer counterboring at this time. We do provide countersinking, PEM hardware insertion, and tapping for eligible sheet metals and plastics.
Quantity discounts are automatically applied when quoting parts. While building a cart, you should see savings of 20% or more for 2 or more identical parts in most materials. For deeper discounts, join our mailing list to be notified of limited time deals!
At this time SendCutSend does not chamfer, bevel, or 3D machine the edges of parts. We only offer 2D perpendicular cuts and cannot produce any kind of chamfered or radiused edge options.
We do not cut tubing or piping. At this time, SendCutSend provides 2D through-cutting in flat media only. Additionally we only cut in-stock materials which include sheet metal, sheet plastics, wood/boards, and composites. Take a look at our Materials Library and Services page to learn more!
