Fast turnarounds to keep your projects moving

SendCutSend offers online anodizing services on flat sheet metal and CNC Machined parts with no minimum quantity.

Corrosion resistance

Increases resistance to corrosion without adding a thick layer to your part

Pair with 7 post-processing services

Anodizing pairs well with a variety of our other sheet metal or CNC machining services

Tight-tolerance friendly

Adds only 0.0002″–0.0009″ per side, so anodizing won't affect fit on parts with mating surfaces or threaded features.

“One of the biggest surprises was their anodizing quality—not only was it significantly more affordable than I expected, but the finish was also top-tier.”

Chase Doney

Available materials for Anodizing

Many non-ferrous metals can be anodized, but aluminum is the best candidate and creates the most successful finish. At this time, we offer three different aluminum alloys for sulfuric anodizing:

Design guidelines for anodized parts

Following a few basic design guidelines will help ensure your parts anodize properly and pass SendCutSend review.

Sizing & hole requirements

Sizing limits apply to flat parts before bending for sheet metal

Sheet Metal

Min part size (flat)	1″ x 3″ (≥ 3 in² surface area)
Max part size (flat)	23″ x 23″
Required hanging hole	≥ .063″ (1.60 mm)
Min hole / cutout size	≥ .040″ (1.02 mm)

CNC Machined Billet

Min part size (flat)	1″ x 3″ x 1″
Max part size (flat)	7″ x 7″ x 12″
Required rack feature	One ≥ .125″ through hole (best), or a threaded blind hole ≥ 4-40 / 3mm with ≥ 1.5× diameter depth

If your billet design can’t accommodate a hole, we can pinch opposing surfaces during racking.
Expect small marks of discoloration at pinch points. You can specify preferred surfaces in your order note during configuration.
If your material’s min hole size is larger than .063″, the hanging hole must match that larger size. Verify in the Material Catalog.
Deburring is preselected on all anodized sheet metal parts. Media blasting is strongly recommended for billet.

What to expect with anodized parts

Some surface imperfections may be visible through the anodizing
Color finishes may vary batch to batch, and significantly between alloys
7075 T6 Aluminum will appear duller with more contrast between face and cut edge
Bend lines will be visible (die protection isn’t available)
Anodizing is non-conductive
Scratches will expose raw aluminum beneath
Type II anodizing adds ~0.0002″–0.0009″ per side to part dimensions
Parts requiring welding should not be anodized
Sheet: without deburring, all surface imperfections are enhanced
Billet: as machined anodizes to a glossier finish and shows tooling marks more prominently. Media blasting anodizes duller and smoother, and better hides those marks

Additional anodizing resources

If you’re designing parts for anodizing, these resources may help:

Pre-flight checklist: Sheet Metal

File is in a format that we accept (2D: .dxf, .dwg, .ai, .eps; 3D: .step or .stp)
All holes and cutouts are at least 50% material thickness for laser cut parts
All holes and cutouts are no less than 0.070” for most waterjet cut parts
All holes and cutouts are no less than 0.125” for all CNC routed parts
File is built at a 1:1 scale, preferably in inch or mm units
2D files: all objects on the same layer, text converted to outlines, no open contours, all shapes united or merged, floating interiors bridged or stencilized
3D files: single solid sheet metal body, uniform thickness with a face at every edge, modeled at stock thickness with matching bend specs
All stray points, duplicate lines, empty objects and text areas have been removed

Pre-flight checklist: CNC Machined Billet

File is in a format that we accept for CNC machining (.step or .stp)
Only one part is present in your design file (no assemblies)
File is built at a 1:1 scale in either inch or mm units
File does not include any extra faces or entities
No holes or features are smaller than .125” (3.175mm)
Internal features will have a minimum radius of .0625” (1.587mm)
All internal features are accessible (e.g., not fully enclosed)
No part marking, etching, or engraving included in the design

  I ran into an issue replacing an old sink and needed a stainless steel spacer.  SendCutSend was amazing!  Awesome AI Tool to help me design exactly what was needed, round the edges to match my sink and get the order placed!  Very reasonable pricing and about a week and a half later, I had my spacer!  Will definitely use them again!

  What a great company, website is easy as can be, part was machined perfectly, every step of the process was updated VIA text and part was shipped and delivered days ahead of schedule at a price that can't be beat. I work in R&D at a company with 50+ CNC machines and prefer to use these guys because our machines are all running production programs and down time to do one-offs is a hassle. Send Cut Send is a true resource that even well equipped shops can benefit by using them.

  Needed some custom panels for my audio build and was running out of ideas so went to their website and used their templates and made the panels i needed to my measurements and a few days later they arrived. They were just how i wanted. Will be using them again in the future.

  First time experience with SCS and they deliver excellence. Sent over dxf file of vintage carburator spacer suited for my 1947 Studebaker M15A. Selected the 1/2" G10 fiberglas isolator and pressed go. Rapid service and dispatch. Got the final product delivered to Norway and same day installed with perfect results. Very happy customer!
