Both companies are unlocking awesome possibilities for all kinds of makers, but when it comes to laser-cut metal, there’s one clear leader in the space. Engineers, educators, and DIY-ers alike rave over the upfront clarity, the lightning-fast turnaround, and the consistent quality they get from OSH Cut.
OSH Cut’s selection of on-demand sheet, plate, and tube materials exceeds SendCutSend by nearly nine times. The instant quoting and Design For Manufacturability (DFM) tools available for free at oshcut.com eliminate unnecessary work and hassle for engineers and hobbyists. Compared to other online fabrication shops, OSH Cut is the only company that guarantees both its rapid lead times and the quality of its parts. OSH Cut uniquely offers instant pricing for industrial-level services such as Tube Laser Cutting, advanced CNC Bending (press brakes for sheet metal and mandrel benders for tube), as well as Flat Cutting up to 1” thick plate.
While SendCutSend does offer many of the same services as OSH Cut, oshcut.com users benefit from much broader capabilities when it comes to custom metal parts. For example, SendCutSend will usually provide rapid pricing for parts 44” x “30” or smaller, while OSH Cut instantly quotes part files up to 119” x 59”. Bending capability is another significant differentiator; OSH Cut can achieve difficult bend sequences or angles and has the tooling / tonnage to bend up to ¾” thick steel. By comparison, SendCutSend has more limited bending options and will only form certain material up to ¼” thick.
Many customers who purchase from both OSH Cut and SendCutSend have stated that this model is the future of metal fabrication. When it comes to online ordering, OSH Cut is generally preferred by professional designers, engineers, and CAD-capable hobbyists because of the additional clarity they get from OSH Cut’s in-browser tools such as automatic feature detection, 3D bend simulations, multi-part order configuration, automatic nesting previews and discounts, etc.
