Onshape is our recommended platform for designing laser cut and sheet metal parts to be manufactured via our laser cutting service. Exporting your parts from Onshape as A STEP file is fast and easy, only taking a few seconds. After your files are exported you can upload them to our instant quoting platform to receive instant pricing for your laser cut or sheet metal parts.
Exporting Parts
- Since Fabworks accepts both flat and bent parts in step form there is no need to make a flat pattern for your sheet metal parts. Additionally there is NO need to adjust your k-factor before export! Refer to our Sheet Metal Bending Service Guidelines for more info on what we adjust automatically!
- Right click anywhere on your part, then click “Export”
- Once the export dialogue shows up click “Export” once more to start your STEP file download.
- Once your part has finished downloading, navigate to the Fabworks Laser Cutting Service, and simply drop your file into the upload section to get an instant quote on your part.
