Can you make one prototype before a batch?
Yes, a sample or first article can be reviewed before batch production. Whether a very small prototype is practical depends on material, setup, process, tooling and international shipping.
Can you review a part without a finished CAD drawing?
Yes. A clear photo, sketch, overall dimensions, target quantity, intended use and destination can support an early feasibility review. Final production may still require an approved drawing or artwork file.
Which files are useful for laser cutting, CNC and printing?
AI, PDF, DXF, CDR and DWG are commonly useful for cutting. CNC parts benefit from dimensioned drawings and relevant 3D references. Printing works best with vector artwork or high-resolution raster artwork, normally 300DPI or higher at output size.
When should acrylic be laser cut instead of CNC machined?
Laser cutting is often efficient for flat outlines, panels and repeated shapes. CNC machining is usually better for thick parts, controlled holes, grooves, pockets, slots and parts where fit or depth matters.
Do you provide local same-day acrylic cutting?
Grandview is a manufacturing factory in Guangzhou, China, serving worldwide orders. This page is best suited to commercial samples, batch production and repeat-order parts or products—not walk-in same-day local cutting.
