Revenue model

1. On-Demand Metal Fabrication Services: OSH Cut generates revenue through per-part transaction fees for custom metal laser cutting, bending, tube processing, and finishing services. Customers pay per order with pricing based on material, quantity, and processing complexity. Volume discounts are applied automatically as order size increases. Same-day/rush production carries premium pricing.

Core offering

OSH Cut operates a software-defined on-demand sheet metal and tube fabrication factory. Customers upload CAD files through a browser-based quoting app and receive instant fully-nested pricing, real-time DFM feedback, and 3D bend simulation. Core services include fiber laser sheet cutting, laser tube cutting, CNC press brake bending, CNC tube bending, metal tapping, PEM hardware insertion, and finishing (deburring, countersinking, bead blasting, centrifugal tumbling, powder coating). Production runs on Trumpf and Mazak equipment with no minimum order quantities, standard 2-day lead times, and optional same-day rush production.

Product overview

OSH Cut is a US-based online metal manufacturer offering an on-demand fabrication platform accessible through a web-based quoting and ordering application. The core offering consists of metal cutting and bending services including Sheet Laser Cutting, Laser Tube Cutting, Brake Bending, and CNC Tube Bending (the latter featuring the only in-browser DFM for bent tube in the world). Supporting services include Metal Tapping, Hardware Insertion (PEM fasteners), and various finishing options: Metal Deburring, Countersinking, Bead Blasting, Centrifugal Tumbling, and Powder Coating. All services are accessed through the company's instant quoting app at app.oshcut.com, which provides fully-nested pricing, instant DFM feedback, bend simulation visualization, and multiple lead-time options from same-day to standard 2-day turnaround.

Products and services

• Sheet Laser Cutting High-powered fiber laser cutting of custom metal parts from sheet metal and plate for engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Supports thicknesses from 0.005 to 1 inch across 400+ grades/alloys of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and nickel.
• Laser Tube Cutting Tube laser cutting service for metal tubes and pipes up to 10 inches in diameter, supporting square, rectangular, and round stock with bevel cuts up to 45 degrees. Used for custom tube components in prototyping and short-run production.
• CNC Press Brake Bending CNC press brake bending service for metal up to 3/4 inch thickness and 119 inches in total bend length, with any number of bends including interior window bends requiring sectionalized tooling. Standard bend angle tolerance is +/- 1 degree, with CNC brakes placing back gauges to within +/- 0.0001 inches.
• CNC Tube Bending Custom bent tubing service paired with the only in-browser DFM tool for bent tube in the world, allowing customers to design and configure custom bent tubing without CAD software. Supports 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 inch OD DOM tube (1020, 1026) with laser-cut features outside the bend region; expansion to 3-inch diameter tubing planned.
• Metal Tapping Metal tapping service for standard tap sizes ranging from 6-32 to 1 1/2-6 and metric sizes from M3 x 0.5 to M36 - 4.0. The system automatically detects circular holes and adjusts hole sizes for tap engagement during checkout.
• Hardware Insertion Integration of PEM self-clinching fasteners including threaded studs and nuts from over 400 options, with first-principles DFM and optimal production sequence displayed in the browser before checkout.
• Metal Deburring Automatic deburring service using a 120-grit wide belt sander that removes burrs and eliminates prep work for welding and painting. Automatically applied to supported parts during checkout.
• Countersinking Drilling service that creates holes allowing hardware to embed and lay flush. Works for metal 18-gauge or thicker, with a range of hole sizes compatible with popular hardware options.
• Bead Blasting High-pressure abrasion service using recycled glass beads at 100 psi that cleans and preps metal surfaces with a uniform matte finish, removing contaminants and prepping for paint.
• Centrifugal Tumbling Batch polishing service using centrifugal force for smaller parts up to 8 x 4 x 4 inches at 225 max RPM, popular for aerospace and medical device applications.
• Powder Coating Durable weatherproof powder coating finish for parts up to 50 lbs and 60 inches in length or width, available in 14-17 standard colors.
• OSH Cut Instant Quoting App Browser-based online platform at app.oshcut.com that provides instant pricing, DFM feedback, automatic nesting, in-browser 3D bend simulation with collision detection, and lead-time options for sheet metal and tube fabrication orders. Supports DXF, SVG, AI, STEP, SLDPRT, CATPART, IPT, IGS, PAR, IGES, NX, SolidEdge, JT, 3DM, x_t, SAT, SAB file formats with no minimum order quantities.

Direct peers

• SendCutSend: Online custom laser cutting service offering instant quoting, no minimums, and rapid turnaround on sheet metal parts. Most direct comparable in business model and target customer to OSH Cut.
• Xometry: On-demand manufacturing marketplace offering sheet metal fabrication alongside CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing. Competes directly with OSH Cut's instant-quoting self-serve model for the same engineer/designer buyer.
• Hubs (by Protolabs): Online manufacturing service backed by Protolabs that provides instant quoting for sheet metal, CNC, injection molding, and 3D printing. Closely aligned with OSH Cut's PLG, instant-quote GTM.
• Fictiv: Digital manufacturing platform providing instant quoting and order management for custom mechanical parts including sheet metal. Targets the same hardware-startup and engineer persona as OSH Cut.
• Plethora: On-demand CNC machining and fabrication service focused on rapid-turn custom parts for engineers. Competes in the same instant-quoting, prototype-and-low-volume segment as OSH Cut.

Others

• Laserax: Provider of laser marking, cleaning, and cutting systems for industrial traceability and fabrication. Adjacent technology supplier to the equipment class OSH Cut uses, with overlap in industrial laser cutting applications.
• Metals Depot: Online metals supplier offering cut-to-size steel, aluminum, and stainless products. Serves a similar low-volume, fast-turn buyer and represents an adjacent purchasing alternative for OSH Cut's customers.
• Online Metals: Online retailer of small-quantity metals and custom-cut pieces. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — sells material and basic cut-to-size rather than full fabrication services — but targets an overlapping hobbyist/engineer buyer.
• Trumpf: German manufacturer of industrial laser cutting and bending equipment — the same OEM whose machines (Trumpf 3030, Trumpf 7000) anchor OSH Cut's production line. Ecosystem participant and strategic supplier rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Protolabs: Established digital manufacturing leader offering rapid prototyping and on-demand production across multiple processes. Operates at much larger scale than OSH Cut and competes for the same enterprise prototyping volume.
