For cutting
- Upload a 2D DXF at the intended scale; check the displayed dimensions.
- Use closed outlines for cut-out parts and remove duplicate paths.
- Choose material, thickness, colour preference and copies of the complete file.
- Identify important holes, slots, mating parts and fit requirements.
For engraving or extra work
Select cut + engrave or engrave only. Add the position, artwork and appearance you need; engraving receives a reviewed quote.

Common questions
What materials can you laser cut?
Common materials include cast acrylic, birch plywood, MDF, card, leather and laser-safe rubber. Material suitability is confirmed before cutting.
Can you cut 9 mm acrylic, plywood or MDF?
You can request 9 mm in the configurator. We check the exact sheet grade, geometry and edge requirements before confirming suitability and price. Thicker wood-based sheets may need a sample cut; selecting a thickness does not guarantee every grade can be processed.
What does the online cutting estimate include?
The estimate covers the selected sheet material and cutting of the uploaded layout, supplied as cut. We review the drawing and sheet layout before confirming the price. Standard preparation and a material procurement allowance are included. Optional engraving, extra finishing and delivery are quoted before ordering. No VAT is charged; Seked Labs Ltd is not VAT registered.
Will slots and press-fit joints fit exactly?
Tell us which features must fit together and provide the mating dimensions. Actual sheet thickness and the width removed by the laser affect the fit. We agree any tolerance, adjustment or test piece with you before cutting.
Do you cut metal?
No. This service uses a CO₂ laser for compatible non-metal sheet materials. If your part requires metal fabrication, tell us the requirement and we can advise on the most appropriate route.
Can you make a single part or a small batch?
Yes. We support one-off development parts, prototypes and small repeat batches where laser cutting is a suitable process.
Can you help if my design is not ready to cut?
Yes. Send a drawing, sketch, dimensions or CAD file and we can review the geometry and help prepare a practical manufacturing route.
Can I collect from Sheffield?
Yes. Collection from our Sheffield workshop can be arranged when your parts are ready.
