How It Works
From upload to delivery, here’s exactly what happens when you order with SendCutBend.
Three Simple Steps
At SendCutBend, we’ve made getting precision parts made as straightforward as it should be. Whether you need one part or a small production run, the process is the same: upload, get an instant price, and we take care of the rest.
Unlike traditional cutting and machining shops, where you email a drawing and wait days for someone to quote it, SendCutBend gives you a price the moment you upload your file. No minimum order quantities, no back-and-forth, no guessing.
Send
Upload your component CAD file removing drawing borders & any other detail. A variety of formats can sent, however STEP files work well. Bent components can be processed in their formed view. You can also upload a PDF print to aide manufacturing.
Cut
Select your preferred processing 3D Printing, Plastics, CNC Sheetmetal or CNC Machining along with the material & thickness from our stocklist. Select the manufacturing tolerance, quantity required and delivery timeframe.
Bend
Add any post-process options. Threaded holes, Anodising, Powder Coating or Zinc Plating. Your component price will be instantly calculated along with any applicable discounts. Add to your basket & check out using our online pre-pay facility.
Let’s Simplify Things
No drawings to email. No minimum order. Ever.
Traditional manufacturers often require drawings to be emailed over and quoted manually, with minimum order quantities that don’t suit prototyping or small-batch work. SendCutBend removes both of those barriers.
- No minimum order quantity, on any order, ever
- Instant, transparent pricing before you commit to anything
- Reorder saved parts from your account in a click
- Scale from a single prototype to small-batch production

How Fast Is It?
We offer three lead time options, so you can choose the right balance of speed and cost for your project:
- Standard: Our standard manufacturing and shipping lead time, suited to most orders.
- Express: Rapid manufacturing and shipping for customers who need parts quickly and are prepared to pay a premium for speed.
- Saver: A reduced-cost option for customers happy to wait a little longer for delivery.
Exact lead times for each tier are shown at checkout once your file is uploaded and your order is confirmed.
