FREE sourcing support for qualified business buyers, with an eligible benefit of up to 3%. Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. That review includes etch versus through-cut and whether the art file already carries kerf compensation.

This desk helps a US job-shop buyer who is quoting mixed one-off art and functional parts assemble one custom laser cutting brief, circulate it, and rank mill wholesale replies. We do not own a laser bed, we do not stock sheet, and we do not sell a third-party brand as if it were ours.
Work stays on the existing inquiry form. CAD can follow after a named contact exists. Certificates, kerf capability, MOQ and lead time remain supplier facts until written against your revision. If the art file already carries kerf compensation, that fact must sit on the brief so a shop does not offset the logo a second time.

Unversioned screenshots of a branded panel create silent substitutions. We ask the buyer to freeze PDF plus DXF or STEP, then label every open item: thickness tolerance, etch versus through-cut, art-file kerf, finish, inspection, Incoterms.
A factory ex-works number is not a US delivered number. Freight, duties, packing and inspection can reverse the ranking. We do not publish a savings percentage against an unnamed market, and we do not invent mill records that the shop has not signed.
ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, NADCAP and ITAR coverage must be requested for the cell that will run the nest. Displaying those names here would impersonate a factory.
No public employee roster is claimed. The cards describe work types a buyer will meet after an RFQ is readable.
Restate drawing revision, material, thickness, quantity, destination and inspection so two factories are answering the same packet, including which islands etch and which islands through-cut.
Fiber vs CO2, nitrogen vs oxygen, punch or waterjet as alternatives. These are questions, not a process we already run.
Mill cert, CoC, FAI and finish notes requested after the shop is in play.
ZIP or port, Incoterms, and whether packing for export is in the quote.
Revision letters after T1 samples. A silent nest change, or a second kerf offset on the art file, is treated as a new RFQ.
Send company contact, revision, quantity and destination. We will not invent a street-front factory tour or treat one-off art as stocked signage.
