FAQ

Can you engrave metal?

Only anodized aluminum with surface depth.

What is the thickest material you can cut?

it is about 1/2" (12mm) maximum.

What is the general turnaround time?

You can expect about 3 days turnaround on average for medium size projects. We will let you know if the lead-time will be longer.

Is there a way to laser cut the material without burning the edge?

CO2 laser cutting technology uses a thin beam of light to burn through the material to cut it, so materials like wood or paper will inevitably have darker edges.

What is the cost of laser cutting my project?

We cannot give you an accurate price until we see your file, or get a clear understanding of what it is you are looking for.
