Laser Cutting and Sheet Metal Services

What does 'fully-nested pricing' mean?

We take all the custom metal parts in your order and 'nest' them on sheet metal, to get the best material price. Other online metal cutting services don't offer nested pricing. Multi-part metal cutting jobs usually benefit greatly from nesting, so it's an important part of bidding on online laser cutting jobs.

What are your lead-times for fabricated sheet metal parts?

Our standard lead-time is 5 business days for prototype and short-run laser cutting jobs, but there are options during checkout for lead-times as quick as same-day, depending on job size, material availability, and capacity. We'll cut your job early when we can.

Can you meet a lead-time not listed during checkout?

Unfortunately not. Our lead-time engine is tied closely to our production planning software, which monitors production capacity. During peak demand, we can't guarantee a faster lead even if your job is small.

Can you cut a material not listed in your catalog?

We can't, but we often add materials based on customer demand. Please let us know if you have a special request by sending us an email to [email protected].

Do you support sheet metal bending?

We do! You can upload a 3D model of your sheet metal part in STEP or SolidWorks format, and our platform will automatically unfold your metal part to create a flat pattern and bend program. You can also upload a flat pattern and select bend lines if that's easier for you. Whatever method you use, you can watch a bend simulation that shows how your part will form on our equipment, alerting you of potential issues right away.

How can I get better prices?

Our system automatically applies aggressive pricing discounts as your metal cutting and bending job increases in size. To get the best price, upload more parts or increase your order quantities. OSH Cut is most competitive for mid-to-large sheet metal fabrication jobs containing multiple custom metal parts, parts that benefit from nesting, and parts that include bending.

Can you ship internationally?

We currently offer shipping in the United States only. Shipping heavy sheet metal parts internationally is usually impractical, so there generally isn't significant demand. We may offer international shipping in the future, however.

Will you remove the burr on my parts?

Absolutely! Our lasers usually cut without leaving a burr, but you can select deburring to eliminate any potential burrs on thicker materials. Make sure that after you upload your part, you select deburring as an option. We can deburr your parts and optionally put a 240-grit linear grain on your parts. Not all parts have enough surface area to support deburring, but our system will let you know what is available after upload.
