All jobs are different, and a standard price is not possible. The price is dependent on material usage and machining time. Such things as cutting bit size, and material thickness can also require more machine time to complete a cut.
Requesting a quote
If you are interested in having a quote done for your parts, its best to send the files to [email protected]. Once we can simulate the cutting and work up a machine time and materials needed, we can work up a cost. We have no minimum order.
Tooling
Our most common cutter we use in carbon fiber is the 1.6mm, for material between 0.2mm – 3.0mm, and 2.0mm for anything thickner then 3.0mm. We charge the same for both on the machine time unless you need the smaller cutters for the thicker material. For the best pricing, cuts should be set to allow for the suggested cutter. We also have 1.0mm cutter if needed but this could increase the cost of the part as theses cutters are not able to cut as fast or as deep per pass. For other materials, larger tools can be used to optimize the cutting.
Materials
We can machine a variety of materials such as Carbon fiber, Fiberglass(G10), plastic, metal and wood.
Submitting files
We can accept most file types but there are some that will increase the speed in which we can work up a quote. If the part only requires a 2D cutting profile, the best is if a 2D DXF file can be sent. These are the types of files we will be using to machine the part and will save us having to convert them. Otherwise, we can take most other formats such as iges, stp, stl, dxf and pdf.
Finishing options
We also offer various finishing options such as chamfering, pockets, countersunk screws upon request. Please take a tour in the Tips&Tricks menu to check the design requirements
Shipping
Shipping options will vary depending on where you are located. We are located in Chilliwack, Canada which is only a few minutes from the Canada/US border For Canadian customers, we can offer Canada post or UPS but default to Canada post. For your US customers, due to our proximity to the border, we walk all packages across the border and have them imported so that they are then a domestic shipment. No need to worry about duties or delays from customs. Once the package is dropped off with USPS, most shipments arrive in 2-3 days with Priority shipping. As for International orders, we can like to ship with USPS international, Canada Post, DHL or UPS. Once an order has been submitted, we will normally defualt to USPS and Canada post, but can providing pricing on other options upon request.
