Design notes
Draw it once, cut it right.
- Parts up to 23.2 x 11.6 in, in either direction. Anything under 1/4 in across gets a look from a person before it's cut.
- Leave at least 1/16 in (1.6 mm) of material between cuts. Thinner webs burn through or snap.
- Every outline closed, text converted to outlines. A file can hold a whole set of parts.
- Laser-cut wood edges come out dark brown. That's the cut itself, not a defect, and it sands back if you need a pale edge.
- Need a part number or logo on it? Laser engraving is quoted by a person.
Exporting from CAD or a drawing app? The file setup guide covers Fusion, Onshape, Inkscape and Illustrator.

Questions
Good to know.
- Which woods can I order?
- Baltic birch plywood, MDF and hardboard. Each thickness is in the table above and on the instant quote.
- Baltic birch or MDF?
- Baltic birch is stronger and holds a screw better, so it suits jigs and fixtures. MDF is flat, even and cheaper, with no grain or voids, so it paints well and suits templates and signs.
- Is there a minimum order?
- The order minimum is $25. One part or a hundred, every quantity is priced before you pay.
- Can I pick up instead of waiting on shipping?
- Yes. Pickup is free in metro Atlanta, and rush orders are ready the next business day.
