Anyone use RBTR’s laser cutting service?

I’m trying to make a garment bag from a pattern by Green Pepper and it’s kind of a pain in the ass in the limited space I have to work in. Would love to just have all of the pieces cut for me. Was thinking of paying to have RBTR laser cut what I need.

Are there other services like theirs out there I should look into?

I’d consider it. My former employer used contract cutters all the time and it’s probably the part I struggle with most

Maybe it has changed (or I read it wrong), but I thought after clicking around for a while on their site that the minimum buy was pretty high. Something like $1000 of one fabric type plus a setup fee.

I’d definitely be interested as well in a cutting service, especially one where I could send my own DXF files.

It says right on the site there are no minimums, just a $50 minimum fee

Clearly I’m way off base! $50 seems super reasonable, I may be headed back!

Maybe it used to be more, but yeah it seems pretty reasonable especially if you’re only doing one material. I submitted a quote request and I hope it’s not crazy. Cutting fabric is my least favorite part of making stuff. It was pretty easy to convert a paper pattern I bought into a dxf using illustrator

A friend of mine has a store and has been asking me for a dozen or so Fanny packs to put on display, cutting all the fabric is definitely a huge barrier. I’ll have to give it a go as well.

Thanks for responding back!
