Effective June 23, 2024, in response to customer concerns about burrs on non-appearance surfaces, meviy will now offer the option of additional Edge Breaking for sheet metal.

All meviy sheet metal parts are guaranteed to have 0.1mm or less burrs or raised edges on the appearance edges of parts during the cutting process, but with this additional option, we can now offer R0.1 equivalent quality on every edge, including the appearance and reverse sides of your custom parts.
