Metal cutting across Georgia — Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi and regions

Short answer

Metal-cutting projects for Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi and other Georgian locations can be discussed remotely with Craftarea’s Tbilisi studio. Send the drawing, material and quantities together with the destination. Part dimensions, weight, packaging and transport affect the handover plan; confirm production and delivery arrangements for the actual order.

CNC laser cutting machines are rare outside Tbilisi, so precision-cut parts destined for Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Poti, Zugdidi or Telavi are almost always cut in the capital and shipped afterwards. Craftarea runs this as a standard remote workflow: you send a vector file or a dimensioned sketch, we cut it on a fiber laser CNC machine at our Tbilisi workshop, and the finished parts go out by courier. Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.

How do I order metal cutting if I don't live in Tbilisi?

A remote order takes three steps: send the file, confirm price and timeline, receive the part by courier. You do not need to travel to Tbilisi — a DXF, AI or PDF file is enough, or even a phone photo of a sketch, provided every dimension is written on it precisely. If a contour is open or a dimension looks wrong, we tell you before cutting and correct it together, which avoids paying to cut and ship the part twice. Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.

  • Send the file — DXF, AI, PDF, or a dimensioned sketch
  • Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.
  • Prepayment — full amount or a deposit, depending on order size
  • Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.
  • Finished part shipped to your region by courier

Metal cutting across Georgia — which cities do you deliver to?

We cut only in Tbilisi but deliver throughout Georgia, to any settlement a courier company serves, including smaller towns and municipalities. The most frequent destinations are Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Zugdidi, Poti, Gori and Telavi. Delivery time is counted from the day production finishes, not the day the order is placed. The times below are indicative and depend on the courier company's own schedule. Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.

What metal thickness do you cut — and what don't you do?

The thickness ceiling is the same for a regional order as for a Tbilisi one, because the same machine does the work: mild steel (carbon steel, colloquially 'iron') up to 10mm, stainless — inox, nerzhaveika, stainless steel are all the same material — up to 6mm, aluminium up to 5mm. Copper and brass thickness is confirmed for the alloy and surface. We also state plainly what we do not own: plasma cutting, waterjet, press-brake bending, CNC milling and lathe work are not performed in our workshop. If a part exceeds these limits or needs bending, we advise on the correct process and route you to a vetted partner workshop. For a regional order this matters more than usual, because a mismatch discovered after shipping is expensive to fix. Specify the required tolerance in the drawing; achievable tolerance and edge finishing are confirmed for the material, thickness and geometry.

Who pays for the courier, and how much does delivery cost?

Courier cost is not part of the cutting price. It is calculated separately from parcel weight and size at the courier company's current tariff. Small items — nameplates, number plates, keychains — fit a standard parcel and ship cheaply, while a large or heavy order such as a decorative panel or a mangal needs its own shipping calculation. The parcel is handed to the courier once payment is confirmed, and we pass on a tracking number where the courier company issues one. Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.

How is a regional order different from a Tbilisi order?

There are two differences and both are logistical. First, Tbilisi customers often collect the part from the workshop themselves, whereas a regional order is built entirely around the courier and requires no visit. Second, file and dimension accuracy matters more: in Tbilisi an inaccuracy gets resolved on the spot, but for a regional order a correction restarts the whole chain — cutting, packaging and shipping — and adds several days. That is why we verify contours and dimensions before cutting rather than after. The Tbilisi address, working hours and pickup procedure are covered on a separate page.

What file and information do I need to start an order?

Four things are enough. First, a vector file (DXF or AI), or a hand-drawn sketch with exact dimensions if you don't have one. Second, the material type and thickness — for example 3mm mild steel or 2mm stainless. Third, how many pieces you need, even if it is one. Fourth, the exact delivery address, without which we cannot fold the courier tariff into the price. For a house-number plate, a nameplate or a decorative panel, the text, the dimensions and optionally a logo or ornament sketch are enough to begin. Detailed file-prep rules — formats, closed contours and minimum hole diameter — are on their own page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order metal cutting if I live outside Tbilisi and cannot visit?
Yes, the entire process runs remotely. You send a file or sketch by email or through the website, we cut it in Tbilisi, and the finished part ships to you by courier. No visit is required at any stage.
How long until I receive an order in Batumi or Kutaisi?
Timing is agreed after the project review. Send the metal grade, thickness, drawing, finishing and quantity, required date and collection or delivery location.
What metal thickness do you cut for regional orders?
Anything thicker cannot be cut on our machine, and we will refer you to a partner workshop instead. Specify the required tolerance in the drawing; achievable tolerance and edge finishing are confirmed for the material, thickness and geometry.
What file do I send if I have no vector drawing?
A phone photo of a sketch is enough provided every dimension is written on it precisely. We prepare the technical cutting file ourselves and send it back for your approval before cutting.
Who pays for the courier?
Courier cost is charged separately from the cutting price and calculated from parcel weight and destination city. It appears in the single quote before you confirm the order, so no extra cost appears later.
Is there a minimum order for regional delivery?
No, the minimum order is 1 piece and no additional threshold applies to regional orders. A single metal plate is produced and shipped exactly like a run of several dozen parts.
Can I collect the finished part in Tbilisi myself?
Yes, workshop pickup is available to any customer regardless of where they live — just tell us at ordering that you do not need the courier. The address and working hours are on our Tbilisi page.
