This benefits you in several ways:

  • You can refine a design when you need to. You can come back days or weeks later to make a modification to your design.
  • You can download your file to work with the offline version of Big Blue Saw Designer.
  • You can upload files to be stored on our server. Your files will go whereever you do.

Laser Cutting!

Big Blue Saw is now proud to add laser cutting to the services we offer. Just pick 0.118 inch thick clear acrylic plastic, and you'll be shown the prices for having your parts made with our laser cutting process instead of our usual waterjet cutting. The rates are generally much lower than our waterjet cutting prices, so check it out.

For the moment, we only offer laser cutting on thin acrylic plastic, but that will be changing soon. We'll have more details in the days to come, including photos of sample parts.
