SendCutSend’s “Saved Carts” feature allows you to create a cart with multiple drawings, parts and materials, and share it with others. We’ll provide you with a unique link to share, and anyone who uses the link will be able to purchase an exact copy of your cart and have it arrive at their doorstep. SendCutSend
We don’t provide Ra or surface roughness specs for our materials because finishes can vary by supplier and batch. If no finishing service is added, your parts will ship with the standard mill finish, which may include light scratches.
No — we can’t guarantee a specific grain direction. Parts are cut for maximum material efficiency, so grain direction can vary. If grain direction matters, apply your desired finish after you receive your parts.
You can access the part preview tools by clicking the preview image on any part in your account, or when getting instant pricing. Then, under the preview image of your part, select the Tools option. From there you can directly measure your part or access material specs.
To use our online Parts Builder, we recommend logging into your SendCutSend account first. Then select a template. From there, adjust units, dimensions, and feature placement, add bend lines if needed, and save your part before getting instant pricing!
We’re unable to share DXFs for parts created in our Parts Builder. If you want to modify a part beyond the options available in the Parts Builder, we can recommend designers who can help! We also have CAD tutorials for free software like QCAD and Inkscape.
Team SendCutSend manufactures all parts with their own equipment in two US facilities. This includes everything from DFM, cutting, post processing, and quality control before shipping parts.
It’s not possible for SendCutSend to accept cardboard templates at this time. If you have a cardboard template of your design and need assistance turning it into a CAD file, consider reaching out to one of our trusted Design Partners. They’re familiar with our process and can help get your design cut-ready!
If you have a sketch and need it converted to a CAD file we can cut, reach out to one of our recommended designers!
If you don’t have a CAD file, there are multiple options available! You can use our free Parts Builder, AI Parts Builder, or contact an available designer.
This typically occurs because the overall flat part size is too large or too small for the material. Please check that the file is setup at 1:1 scale in inch or millimeter units. Ensure the correct unit is set for your part after uploading the file.
Our tapping, countersinking, and hardware insertion services can be added to the top or bottom face of sheet and plate material. We don’t offer drilling into the cut edge of sheet stock. With billet, we can CNC machine holes into any side of a part.
At SendCutSend we stock over 15 different sheet metal types in a wide range of natural unfinished hues. Additionally, we offer anodizing, plating, and powder coating services that can provide red, yellow, gold, green, blue, white, and black surface finishes.

If you need to get a PDF quote to send to your company’s purchasing department, our Formal Quote payment method makes it easy. Please note, when you create a Formal Quote, the parts will not move into production until payment is submitted.
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. You can find the process by material on our design guidelines pages.
The Bend tool in Autodesk Fusion lets you preview how your sheet metal part will look once bent and confirm the final formed dimensions. To use it correctly: (1) set up a sheet metal rule with the right K factor and bend radius, (2) sketch your flat pattern with bend lines, (3) extrude using
If you upload your part file to our website and the overall part size exceeds the maximum size for instant quoting in that material, you’ll be prompted to submit a custom quote.
If you need to know how thick we can cut at SendCutSend, the best way to confirm this is by visiting our Material Minimum and Maximum Sizes chart.

PDFs can’t be uploaded for instant quoting, but you can submit them to our custom quote form.
Formal Quotes make it easy to send a link to your accounts payable department so they can process payment for orders online, while the order itself remains associated with your account. This allows you to remain the point of contact if there are any questions during production. Read the complete FAQ for detailed info!
