Expediting costs for laser cutting
The standard turn time for most parts is 3-5 business days assuming you do not need many hundreds or thousands of
parts. If you need the parts more quickly, we generally charge 20% – 50% more per expedited day depending on the
standard turn time (the percentage is such that the minimum turn will cost double the standard turn price). Here are
examples for cutting a minimum order of parts with a standard 3-day turn and standard 5-day turn:

File creation costs for laser cutting

file), we might be able to draw your part on the computer for you for $60 per hour with a $15 minimum.
To request a quote that includes file creation, please submit a standard file type in the quote request form that
communicates exactly the part you need. The file can be any file type that we can read, such as a text file with a
written description, a scan of a hand sketch (JPG, GIF, BMP, PDF), a mock-up in Word, Paint, or Excel, etc. For more
