We do! Check out ‘simple shapes’ as you navigate your material selection and service process, for simple discs, washers, and rectangles.

What type of file format is needed for a custom cut shape?

For custom-cut parts, we require a STEP or DXF file. You can also upload project documents, drawings, or other files to provide additional details and help our team understand your application. Don't have a STEP or DXF file? That's ok! Our team of experts are here to help.

Tolerances vary depending on the material and manufacturing capability used for your part. A complete list can be found on our Terms and Conditions page.
