How to Order

You can place an order in three easy ways:

Upload DXF File

Already have a DXF? Simply drag and drop your file into our uploader. Our system analyzes your design, applies your chosen material and thickness, and generates instant pricing. Perfect for engineers, designers, or anyone with a ready-to-cut file.

Use Our Parts Builder

No CAD? No worries. Browse our library of editable templates for brackets, flanges, panels, and more. Customize dimensions, hole sizes, and other features directly in our app. You'll see live pricing updates as you tweak your design, so you always know the cost before ordering.

Once you place an order:

  1. Choose your material (Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Mild Steel, or Plexiglas) and thickness.
  2. Select any additional services (bending, powder coating — coming soon).
  3. Complete secure checkout online.
  4. Track your order in real time as it moves from cutting to shipping. Most orders ship within 2–3 business days.
