Before processing your file, we check it, fix minor issues in accordance with you, we export and set it for the laser cutting process.

Cutting time

The laser cutting pricing is based on the time it takes to cut the parts, which depends on the material type, its thickness, and on how detailed and intricate your design is. Dense materials, such as most plastics, will generally cut slowly, and the same is true for thick materials as well. Line – engraving is usually a fast process, while infill – engraving is the most time consuming one.

Material

Material is priced per square meter, and we work with standard formats of 900×600 mm, 450×600 mm 450×300 mm, 200×300 mm. Different formats within an area of 1000×600 mm are also available on request or can be provided by you. Properly nesting your parts will let you save material consumption. Delivering your own material is also possible, but in this case we would not be responsible for the quality of the cut . Please, contact us to learn more about laser cutting material pricing.

Design / File creation (optional)

If you would like us to develop your project and draw on the computer for you, you could even send us a sketch along with a description. 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.

Design time is charged per quarter of an hour. To directly request a quote that includes file creation, you could submit your file in the quote request form and mention that you need us to draw your parts.

Material masking (optional)

Masking your material on top and/or bottom surface allows you to avoid any possible marks that may occur during the laser cutting and engraving process. This means minimizing post-production operations and speeding-up the completion of your project.

Rush job (optional)

Standard delivery time for most assignments is 2-5 working days, depending on the dimension of the job.

We could re-schedule our assignments in order to process your requests if you have an urgent job, and material is available. In this case, 30% increase is applied on the standard price.

The above is true as a general rule applicable to most assignments. On the one hand, we will not charge any extra costs for very small jobs. On the other hand, if a job to complete in 3 working days would normally require one week, it also will be considered a rush job.

Student discount

Students up to 24 years old get 20% discount on laser cutting services for personal projects, material excluded. Remember to take your student card with you when you come to pick your laser cut parts up, in order to avail yourself of the discount. Student discount does not apply to requests for rush jobs.

Packaging (optional)

Depending on the size of your parts, we might tape them on the plate, wrap or collect them in paper bags. If you need specific packaging solutions, this may add some costs.

Shipping (optional)

We can arrange shipping in The Netherlands and throughout Europe. If you wish your laser cut parts to be shipped, please mention it when you contact us for a quote. In this case, packaging and shipping costs will be added according to weight of the package, dimension, destination, and your wished delivery time.
