Aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process that takes advantage of a natural oxidation that happens to the surface of aluminum parts. It improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and changes some properties of the part for the better. Many steps are involved in the anodizing process, but it is generally a very cost effective process. This…
Here at SendCutSend we are always looking for ways that we can help streamline your design-to-build process. More often than not, that beautiful laser cut part only becomes functional when it’s fixed in place as part of the larger assembly. Of course, welding is a fantastic way to join many metals (here are some tips…
In this article, we’ll cover how to design a part that successfully leverages our countersinking capabilities for your design. To show how you can save time on post-laser operations, we’ll also bend and powder coat the part so it arrives ready to install, right out of that shrink-wrapped packaging. You can make just about anything…
In this video we discuss considerations when designing your parts for SendCutSend countersinking services. Countersinking is available on the following materials: 5052 Aluminum (.125-.500) 6061 Aluminum (.125-.500) 7075 Aluminum (.125-.500) HDPE (.125-.500) UHMW (.125-.500) Delrin (.125-.500) ABS (.125-.500) Before you submit your countersink part, watch the video tutorial below to make sure you’re designing with…
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, or UHMW-PE. Not the most catchy moniker, but you can blame a chemist for that. This plastic more than makes up for the inconvenience with its super powers: Whether you need parts that are crazy durable, have great chemical resistance, or super low friction characteristics, you’ve chosen the right material. …
Powder coating and zinc plating are two popular methods for protecting steel from corrosion. Both are used in laser cutting applications and offer advantages over one another. Though both methods have their benefits, it’s important to know how each works so you can choose the best option for your project. What is Zinc Plating? Zinc…
