SendCutSend

What SendCutSend does

SendCutSend is an online custom-manufacturing platform founded in 2018 in Reno, Nevada, that delivers on-demand sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, waterjet and laser cutting, CNC bending, and a full suite of secondary finishing services (anodizing, powder coating, plating, deburring, tapping, hardware insertion) to customers ranging from individual makers and SMBs to Fortune 500 enterprises. The platform is built around a proprietary software stack — including an instant-quoting engine, automatic kerf compensation, automatic nesting, a 3D preview/bend configurator, and a live "pizza tracker" — that lets users upload CAD files (.dxf, .dwg, .eps, .ai, .step, .stp) or design parts in-browser via a Parts Builder and receive real-time pricing without a sales interaction. Production is concentrated in three U.S. factories in Reno NV, Paris KY, and Arlington TX totaling ~250,000 sq ft and 410 employees, with parts typically shipping in 1-3 business days and Rush Production options delivering in as little as 24 hours.

The company generates revenue primarily through transactional direct-to-consumer e-commerce on its self-serve storefront, charging per part with volume discounts up to 80% off and offering free U.S. shipping plus paid expedite tiers; a Commercial/B2B channel layers on Formal Quotes and Net 30 credit terms for enterprise procurement, while a beta Marketplace adds a marketplace-commission revenue stream from third-party designers listing their own products. A wholly owned subsidiary, Banana Metals (launched January 13, 2026), sells small-batch 6061-T6511 aluminum stock to CNC machinists, and a creator partner program drives top-of-funnel traffic from YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. By October 2025 SendCutSend had crossed $100 million in annual revenue with 80% YoY growth, reaching a ~$140 million run rate by May 2026 across more than 300,000 cumulative customers; the company claims 59.8% of the Fortune 500 as customers and holds DFARS, CAGE, SAM, and DUNS certifications for federal and defense work. In May 2026 it closed a $110 million Series A led by Sequoia Capital with Paradigm co-leading and Stripe founders Patrick and John Collison participating, at an approximately $1 billion post-money valuation.

Direct peers

• Protolabs: Public digital manufacturer offering CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, and 3D printing with automated quoting. Comparable vertically integrated automated custom manufacturing business with a similar instant-quote online model.
• Fractory: Online custom sheet metal and CNC machining service with instant quoting and global supplier network. Competes in the same laser cutting, bending, and machining category with comparable self-serve online ordering model.
• Fictiv: Private on-demand manufacturing platform offering instant quoting for CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, and 3D printing. Competes head-to-head with SendCutSend for SMB and enterprise custom-parts orders with similar software-led positioning.
• Plethora: U.S.-based online CNC machining and fabrication service offering instant quoting for custom machined parts. Smaller-scale direct competitor focused on similar quick-turn prototype-to-production volumes.
• Xometry: Public online marketplace and platform connecting buyers with on-demand custom manufacturers including CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication. Closest direct competitor on software-led custom manufacturing with broader process coverage and global footprint.
• Hubs (Protolabs): Protolabs-owned online manufacturing platform offering instant quoting and ordering for CNC, sheet metal, and 3D printing parts. Direct competitor targeting the same SMB and enterprise custom-manufacturing buyer as SendCutSend.
• Quickparts: Custom prototype and production manufacturer offering CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and 3D printing with online quoting. Long-standing direct competitor in the on-demand custom parts market.

Others

• McMaster-Carr: U.S. industrial MRO supplier with extensive catalog of standard and custom parts and legendary fast fulfillment. Comparable self-serve industrial buyer experience but does not offer custom manufacturing services; thematically adjacent as a default for industrial buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Shapeways: Online additive manufacturing marketplace with self-serve ordering and an Etsy-like creator storefront. Adjacent business model overlap with SendCutSend Marketplace but focused on 3D printing rather than sheet metal/CNC.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Division of Stratasys offering custom additive manufacturing and prototyping services with online quoting. Broader-protfolio incumbent in on-demand digital manufacturing that overlaps SendCutSend's prototyping customer base.
