|---|---|
| Materials | Cold Rolled Steel (CRS / 1018, 1020), Hot Rolled Steel (HRS / A36), Galvanized Steel, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel (304, 316), Aluminum (5052-H32, 6061-T6), Copper (110), Brass (260), Titanium (Grade 2, Grade 5), Polycarbonate, Acrylic (cast and extruded), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Kydex |
| Certifications | ISO 9001:2015 |
| Finishing | Anodizing Type II (clear, black, colored — aluminum only), Anodizing Type III / Hard coat (aluminum only), Powder coating (multiple colors), Bead blasting, Brushed finish, Tumbling / deburring, Zinc plating, Raw / degreased (default) |
| File Formats | DXF (.dxf), SVG (.svg), AI (.ai — Adobe Illustrator), EPS (.eps), PDF (vector — for flat patterns only), STEP (.step, .stp — for bend parts) |
| Tolerances | Laser cutting: ±0.005 in. (±0.127 mm) for features ≤12 in.; ±0.010 in. (±0.254 mm) for features >12 in. Bend forming: ±1° angle tolerance; ±0.030 in. (±0.762 mm) on formed dimensions. Tube laser cutting: ±0.010 in. (±0.254 mm). All tolerances are for flat-pattern laser cutting only; formed-part tolerances add forming variation. |

- Standard: 3–5 business days. Rush: as fast as 1–2 business days (expedite fee applies). Most orders ship within 5 business days from order placement.
- Instant Quoting
- Yes
- Pricing Model
- Instant automated pricing. Upload flat DXF/SVG (or STEP for bend parts) and receive immediate price based on material, thickness, quantity, and operations selected. No RFQ process for standard services. Bulk pricing available — price per part decreases with quantity. Transparent pricing shown before checkout.
- Payment Terms
- Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), ACH / bank transfer (for approved accounts), Net 30 (for approved business accounts)
- Rush Options
- Expedite service available at checkout — adds premium to speed up to 1–2 business day production. Expedite availability depends on current shop capacity.
Coverage
- Regions Served
- United States (primary — ships from Sparks, Nevada)CanadaInternational shipping available (select countries)
- Manufacturing Locations
- United States — Sparks, Nevada (own facility; not a marketplace)
- Industries Served
- Hardware Startups and MakersRoboticsElectronics EnclosuresAutomotive Custom FabricationArchitectural and SignageAgricultural EquipmentIndustrial EquipmentConsumer Products
- Volume Range:
- Single prototype parts through medium production runs (hundreds to low thousands of parts). Not optimized for mass production injection molding volumes. Suitable for sheet metal in quantities 1–5,000+.
- Focus:
- Both — excels at fast-turn prototyping (days, not weeks) and low-to-medium volume production of sheet metal parts. No injection molding or CNC machining, so prototype-to-production hand-off for complex 3D parts must use another platform.
- IP Protection:
- Standard order confidentiality via Terms of Service. No published SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications for data handling. Files are used solely for production; no explicit data retention or deletion timeline published. (inferred)

Differentiation
Best For
Hardware startups, makers, and engineering teams that primarily need flat or bent sheet metal parts (laser cutting, bending, forming) and want the fastest online quote and lowest US-based price — without needing CNC machining or 3D printing on the same order.
Key Strengths
- Sheet metal specialist — the lowest-cost US-based option for flat laser-cut and bent sheet metal parts
- Instant online pricing with no account required — upload DXF, get price, checkout in minutes
- Direct manufacturer (not a marketplace) — consistent quality, no supplier routing variation
- Broadest material selection for sheet metal: 50+ materials and finishes including titanium, copper, brass
- 1-part minimum with no MOQ — ideal for hardware prototyping and small production runs
- Fast turnaround — standard 3–5 business days, expedite available to 1–2 days
- Tube laser cutting — differentiates from pure flat sheet services
- Transparent pricing before account creation — industry-unusual for US manufacturers
Known Limitations
- Sheet metal only — no CNC machining, 3D printing, or injection molding; cannot serve multi-process BOMs
- US-centric manufacturing — international shipping available but no overseas manufacturing option
- No API for programmatic ordering or quote retrieval
- No ITAR-specific compliance documentation published; not suitable for controlled defense parts
- Welding is available but not automated in the instant-quote flow — requires separate quote
- Complex assemblies or tight geometric tolerances beyond standard sheet metal may require manual review
- Not suited for high-volume production (thousands+ of complex formed assemblies) where dedicated tooling would be more cost-effective
