FAQ

Pricing is based on machine time, material, finishing, labor, and any other steps required to complete the job.
Once your job is complete we will send you an invoice that you can pay online using any credit card, Apple Pay, or bank transfer. We are not accepting in-person payments at this time; payments must be made in advance of pickup.
Zelle payments can be made using the QR code on this page.
We’re now also offering Buy Now Pay Later with Klarna, allowing you to pay over time. Choosing this option will require an additional charge of +6% of the total.
In most cases we do not require a deposit to run a job. In some instances where it is a high priced job, or it requires the purchase of material or a large investment of time, we may ask for a 50% deposit to start the job, and 50% due upon completion.
You can certainly pay in advance if you prefer.
We will estimate your job at no cost based on the first files that you send us. Each subsequent change to the file will cost an additional $25 to reevaluate the files.
Once a job has been committed to, whether by written acceptance in email and/or a deposit has been paid, the job is then in contract and agreed upon according to the quote on the latest drawings. If changes are made after that point, this is considered a change order, and additional fees may be incurred. These changes create additional work to re-setup your files, etc., and the fees are to cover this work.

Typical turnaround is 5-10 business days, unless otherwise stated.
We can likely rush your job and have it ready within 48 hours. Please let us know in advance. There will be a 20% rush fee for 48 hour rush jobs. If you need it within 24 hours, a 30% rush fee will be applied.
We run jobs in the order that they are received. The rush fees apply to move your job to the top of the production schedule.
For larger objects, please inquire about our van service (within the greater NYC area) for a quote.

You will need a vector (drawing) file to cut along profile lines. These files are typically created in Illustrator, AutoCAD, Rhino, etc.
Raster (image) files cannot be used to cut, and can only be used to etch. If you need your file converted, we can do so for additional fees.
To learn more about vector vs. raster files, please see "Vector v Raster".

Please see our materials pages for Laser Cutting and CNC routing.
In most cases you can provide your own material. We only require that you provide us with specifications of what you would like to cut so that we can ensure the feasibility and that it’s non-toxic.
We can cut non-ferrous metal on the CNC router. We cannot cut any metal with the laser cutter, however anodized aluminum can be etched.

All pickups and drop-offs must be scheduled in advance using the online scheduling system: https://www.division.nyc/schedule
This also applies to delivery services and Uber pickups and drop-offs.
If you come without an appointment and we are not here, we are not responsible. You may also be asked to wait if we are servicing other clients.
If you require additional assistance unloading a large material drop-off, there may be additional charges for the labor.
