• Founded in 2018, SendCutSend runs factories that cut, bend and shape custom metal parts for everyone from car modders to makers of rockets, robots and defense equipment.
• The company now serves 300,000+ customers and produces 50 million parts per year, many of whom previously outsourced this work to China.
• The piece traces Belosic's DIY upbringing in Genoa, Nevada, and how the company accidentally became a metal-cutting empire.
• The article is paywalled.
