Explore our CNC machining, laser cutting, and 3D printing materials. Compare common uses, check sheet thicknesses, and take your design straight to an online quote.
Choose from the materials in our online CNC quote tool. Upload a STEP or STP file, select your material, and confirm your part details. Quote eligibility depends on geometry and available stock.
A versatile starting point for machined parts. Lightweight, easy to machine, and well suited to general-purpose components.
A higher-strength aluminum option for parts where strength and low weight both matter.
A general-purpose low-carbon steel for durable machine components and shop hardware.
An alloy steel supplied prehardened for demanding mechanical components. The actual hardness depends on the selected stock.
A corrosion-resistant stainless steel for parts exposed to moisture and general service environments.
A machinable engineering plastic with low friction and good dimensional stability for precision plastic parts.
A low-friction, wear-resistant plastic for sliding contact and protective components.
A tough engineering plastic used for mechanical parts, guides, and components that see repeated contact.
Upload a 2D DXF for a laser cutting quote, or use our Laser Template Builder for simple parts and signs. The laser bed is 24 × 40 inches; usable part size also depends on the selected sheet stock.
Transparent acrylic for clean, visible profiles and display components.
Colored sheet for bold signage, lettering, and custom flat parts.
Layered wood sheet for lightweight flat components, creative projects, and assembly prototypes.
A smooth, uniform wood-fiber sheet for economical templates and indoor projects.
A dense, thin wood-fiber sheet for flat patterns and cost-conscious projects.
Compressible cork sheet for custom flat profiles and cushioning pieces.
Lightweight foam sheet for cushioning and custom cut shapes.
Flexible rubber sheet for custom profiles, cushioning, and gasket-style parts.
Soft sheet material for protective contact surfaces and cushioning.
Upload STEP, STP, STL, or 3MF for an instant 3D printing quote. Choose a single material and color per part, confirm the units and size, and add it to your shared KRC cart.
For visual prototypes, models, and general indoor accessories. Best suited to indoor use; elevated temperatures can soften or distort PLA.
Carbon-fiber-filled PETG for custom accessories, functional prototypes, and shop fixtures with a textured finish. Geometry and layer direction affect strength.
A flexible material for protective covers, bumpers, and compliant parts. Flexibility and fit depend on geometry, wall thickness, and infill.
A good material choice depends on load, fit, temperature, and the environment where the part will be used.
6061 aluminum is a common starting point for general-purpose metal parts. Steels offer different strength and corrosion characteristics, while engineering plastics can be useful for low-friction contact or lighter components. Compare the material notes above, or send KRC your application before ordering.
Yes. The Laser Template Builder lets you configure supported shapes and signs online. Enter your dimensions, choose a compatible material, and review the price. Engraving is included only where the selected sign template offers it.
Availability depends on the material, dimensions, color, and quantity. The quote tools show supported selections; KRC reviews stock and manufacturability before production. Email us before ordering if you need a specific grade, deadline, or material certification.
Yes. Email sales@krcmfg.com with the material grade, CAD file or drawing, quantity, and application. KRC will review whether it can be sourced and processed for your project. Customer-supplied material also requires approval.
Do not assume coating, plating, anodizing, heat treatment, or other secondary work is included. Describe those requirements in a custom quote request. Laser parts are flat cut profiles; engraving is available only on supported template designs.
Send your drawing and tell us what the part needs to do. Talk directly with KRC Manufacturing in New Knoxville, Ohio.
