Powder coating represents another major leap forward in OSH Cut's goal to transform the fabrication industry. OSH Cut began offering laser metal cutting services in 2018, but quickly expanded to offer more value-add services, including deburring, sheet metal bending, tapping, and now powder coating.
OSH Cut's new metal powder coating service allows you to order finished sheet metal parts from a single source, resulting in simplified logistics, more consistent and repeatable lead times, and lower shipping overhead.
OSH Cut exists to make fabricated metal parts easier to order. Now, with powder coating services available, we are taking our rapid, automated fabrication service to the next level.
OSH Cut's powder coating service adds a 4 business-day lead for most job sizes. Altogether, laser-cut, tapped, deburred, bent, and powder-coated sheet metal parts are available within as little as 5 business days.
Usually, it takes days to obtain quotes for metal powder coating services, but OSH Cut has shortened that time considerably. Instead of waiting around for days just to price your custom powder coated part, you can upload your parts online and obtain prices instantly.
From start to finish, the process for ordering custom powder coated metal parts has never been easier.
Our motivation is to set new standards for sheet metal customer experience, by showing the industry what is possible. Yet until metal powder coating services became available, the vast majority of the sheet metal parts we've manufactured have required additional value-add services downstream; raw metal parts usually don't find their way into finished products without metal powder coating or other finishing services.
Our recent addition of powder coating services eliminates that problem for many of our customers. Because customers can now obtain parts with a strong, scratch and chip-resistant powder coating, OSH Cut is becoming more of a single source for consumer-ready sheet metal. This dramatically reduces prototyping design cycles, and enables on-demand fabrication of cut, bent, powder-coated sheet metal parts.

We take all the custom metal parts in your order and "nest" them on sheet metal, to get the best material price. Other online metal cutting services don't offer nested pricing. Multi-part metal cutting jobs usually benefit greatly from nesting, so it's an important part of bidding on online laser cutting jobs. Be sure to log in and click "Continue" to get the final price of your metal parts.
Our standard lead-time is 2 business days for prototype and short-run laser cutting jobs, but there are options during checkout for lead-times as quick as same-day, depending on job size, material availability, and capacity. As a standard practice, we'll cut your job early when we can, regardless of the order size.
Unfortunately not. Our lead-time engine is tied closely to our production planning software, which monitors production capacity. During peak demand, we can't guarantee a faster lead even if your job is small.
We can't, but we often add materials based on customer demand. Please let us know if you have a special request by sending us an email to quote@oshcut.com.
We do! You can upload a 3D model of your sheet metal part in STEP or SolidWorks format, and our platform will automatically unfold your metal part to create a flat pattern and bend program. You can also upload a flat pattern and select bend lines if that's easier for you. Whatever method you use, you can watch a bend simulation that shows how your part will form on our equipment, alerting you of potential issues right away.
Our system automatically applies aggressive pricing discounts as your metal cutting and bending job increases in size. To get the best price, upload more parts or increase your order quantities. OSH Cut is most competitive for mid-to-large sheet metal fabrication jobs containing multiple custom metal parts, parts that benefit from nesting, and parts that include bending.
We currently offer shipping in the United States only. Shipping heavy sheet metal parts internationally is usually impractical, so there generally isn't significant demand. We may offer international shipping in the future, however.
Absolutely! Our lasers usually cut without leaving a burr, but you can select deburring to eliminate any potential burrs on thicker materials. Make sure that after you upload your part, you select deburring as an option. We can deburr your parts and optionally put a 240-grit linear grain on your parts. Not all parts have enough surface area to support deburring, but our system will let you know what is available after upload.
