Security Assessment
About sendcutsend
The SendCutSend skill provides automated preflight review and validation for DXF and STEP/STP files intended for ordering through SendCutSend.com, a custom manufacturing service for laser cutting, CNC routing, bending, and finishing operations. It analyzes CAD files against SendCutSend's current ordering guide, material catalog, and manufacturing specifications to produce evidence-backed readiness reports before submission. The skill helps users identify potential issues with file format, geometry, material selection, thickness compatibility, and service-specific requirements.
The skill performs comprehensive geometry inspection using build123d for STEP/STP files and ezdxf for DXF files, measuring critical parameters like units, bounds, layers, entity types, hole candidates, bend-line geometry, and flange depths. It fetches live data directly from SendCutSend's official sources to validate material availability, thickness options, and service compatibility. The skill integrates with the $cad skill for geometry workflows and automatically hands off completed files to $cad-viewer for visual inspection when available.
This skill is designed for engineers, designers, and fabricators who need to validate CAD files before placing SendCutSend orders. It's particularly valuable for users working with laser-cut sheet metal, CNC-routed parts, bent sheet metal components, or parts requiring additional services like tapping, countersinking, hardware insertion, and finishing. By catching issues early in the design phase, it reduces order rejections, revision cycles, and manufacturing delays.
FAQ
What file formats does this skill support?
The skill supports DXF files for laser sheet cutting and 2D profiles, and STEP/STP files for CNC routing and 3D model uploads. It uses build123d for STEP/STP inspection and ezdxf for DXF inspection.
Does this skill require an active Python environment?
Yes, the skill uses the active project Python environment for local geometry inspection code with build123d. It may also integrate with the $cad skill if available for additional geometry workflows.
How does the skill handle missing or conflicting data from SendCutSend sources?
The skill treats SendCutSend's ordering guide and catalog as evidence feeds rather than stable APIs. It does not convert missing, unparsable, N/A, or conflicting source data into pass/fail verdicts. If sources cannot be fetched, it reports unavailability and avoids making readiness verdicts for dependent checks.
What manufacturing services can this skill validate?
The skill can validate requirements for laser cutting, CNC routing, bending, tapping, countersinking, hardware insertion, and finishing services based on SendCutSend's current specifications.
Does this skill automatically open files in a CAD viewer?
Yes, after creating or modifying DXF, STEP, or STP files, the skill automatically hands off file paths to $cad-viewer (if installed) to start CAD Viewer and provide links to the relevant files.
