SendCutSend alternative
Koventor is an alternative to SendCutSend for local fabrication shops that want to offer the same upload-and-get-a-price experience under their own name. If you simply need parts cut and shipped, SendCutSend makes them and Koventor does not.
Koventor is our tool. We build it, so this page is a vendor's point of view: read it as one. Everything said about SendCutSend comes from its official website, checked on October 12, 2026. No ratings, no ranking. If a line has changed since, their page is the reference.
The table, line by line
| Criterion | SendCutSend | Koventor (our tool) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A manufacturer: "Proudly made in the USA", Reno NV, Paris KY, Arlington TX | A quoting configurator installed for one shop |
| Who makes the parts | SendCutSend | Your shop |
| Instant online price | Yes: "Upload your CAD design... to get instant pricing" | Yes, from your own price grid |
| Inputs accepted | DXF, DWG, EPS, AI, STEP/STP | A photo of a hand sketch, or dimensions typed in |
| Photos or raster images | No, per its FAQ | Yes, the sketch photo is read |
| Hand sketch | Outside designers or CAD made by its team for a fee | Read directly, missing values asked for |
| Processes | Laser, waterjet, CNC, bending, welding, finishing | Whatever your shop declared |
| On your own website | Not found | Yes |
| Price | Per part, shown instantly | Depends on your configuration (materials, constraints, integration); quoted before any commitment |
"Not found" means the information did not appear on the public pages we checked that day. It is not a claim that the feature does not exist: ask them.
What SendCutSend does better
Speed
SendCutSend states parts "delivered in as little as 24 hours".
Materials and finishing
"175+ materials in stock", plus anodizing, powder coating, plating, tapping and hardware insertion under one roof.
Guarantee
A "100% money-back guarantee" is stated on the site.
Nothing to install
A buyer uploads a file and orders. Koventor needs a shop, an installation and a price grid before anyone gets a quote.
Who each one fits
Pick SendCutSend instead if
- You need parts, fast, and have a clean vector file.
- You want finishing done by the same supplier.
- You do not own a laser.
Koventor will suit you better if
- You own the laser and the press brake, and lose local jobs to online quoting.
- Your customers send sketches and photos, not DXF files.
- You want the quote, the DXF and the bending sheet to come out together.
Frequently asked questions
Is Koventor a SendCutSend competitor?
Not for buyers. It is software that lets a local shop offer instant quotes to its own customers. The shop makes the parts.
Does SendCutSend accept photos?
Its FAQ says raster images and photos cannot be used to cut parts, checked October 12, 2026.
Can my customers send a sketch to Koventor?
Yes. A photo of a paper sketch becomes a dimensioned part, and the configurator asks for anything missing.
What comes out for my shop?
A cut-ready DXF of the approved outline, a bending sheet and an order acknowledgment.
What does it cost?
It depends on your materials, constraints and integration. You get a clear quote before committing.
The simplest way to decide
Open the demo and drop a sketch photo: that is the experience your customers would have on your site.
