How to Order Parts on SendCutSend

Play Video

It starts with a CAD design

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.

Follow our design guidelines

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.

No CAD file? Try our Parts Builder

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.

Utilize our additional services

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.

 

Anodizing

Choose anodizing for lightweight corrosion resistance. Our convenient Class II anodizing service adds durability and character to your laser-cut parts.

Bending

We know your projects are multi-dimensional. Get freshly bent metal parts, right off the machine.

Countersinking

For flush surfaces, there’s countersinking. Increase the lifespan of your part and preserve your hardware from long-term wear.

Hardware

Let SendCutSend and PEM fasteners set your parts up for success with self-clinching nuts, studs, and stand-offs.

Plating

Protect your designs with plating. Zinc electroplating helps defend your parts from rust while increasing strength and resistance to wear.

Powder Coating

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.

Tapping

Utilizing specialized, automated equipment, we precisely laser-cut a hole, create some threading, and send you on your way with your completed part.

Deburring

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.

Understand our limitations

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.

Our Laser Cutting Service FAQs

Why don’t you need technical drawings with callouts?

At SendCutSend we don’t need technical drawings with callouts thanks to our transparent guidelines and intuitive part configuration. Service definitions applied while building a cart remove the need for traditional CAD drawings. If you attach files to line items before checkout, we will not use them to evaluate your design for manufacturability.

Can you use a different cutting method for my parts?

We choose the best cutting method for each material, so we aren’t able to use a different cut process upon request for individual orders. See the process by material on our design guidelines pages: Laser Cut Materials Waterjet Cut Materials CNC Routed Materials You can also verify the cut process for each material here:

Can you use a smaller CNC router bit size for my parts?

We cannot use a smaller CNC router bit size to cut parts upon request. At this time, we cut all CNC routed materials using a 0.125″ bit. All CNC routed materials are listed here. Expect a 0.063″ radius in tight corners due to the tooling diameter. We have more information in our CNC router
