How does The Shim Shack’s “Quick Part Designer Tool” and “Shim Program” work you ask. Well… here is a brief overview explaining the automation we have put in place to help get you the most accurate parts quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively:

Step 1: Pick your shim type from the list of shims by clicking on the appropriate image.

Step 2: Select your material type and thickness.

Step 3: Select unit of size, and enter your correct dimensions.

Step 4: Enter the quantity you wish to have made and a job number if necessary; then click the “Add To Cart” button.

The laser cuts all the parts / shims nested in a sheet and offloads the sheet to an unloading station.
The unloader removes the parts / shims from the sheet, labels them, and packages them for UPS to pick up.
