<b>Is laser cutting right for your file?</b>

STL &amp; STEP file types contain 3D designs. As lasers cut flat parts from sheet materials, you'll find shapes with flat faces will be best suited to laser cutting. If you need additive 3D printing for very complex geometries, <a href="https://www.3dhubs.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">3D hubs</a> or <a href="https://www.shapeways.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shapeways</a> are great alternative manufacturing options.

Can I use a STL or STEP file?
