Any of you guys know of a place that will laser cut thin sheet metal parts from a .DXF file and then ship them to you? There's not much in my immediate area, at least not that I can find.
Have you considered wire EDM? Have you considered wire EDM? (electronic discharge machining) It is pretty common anywhere.Send me a "conversation" if I can help you out.
EDM is going to cost a good bit more. If they are going to ship them to you unless shipping is astronomical I almost always go out of state to some of the cheaper laser houses in Michigan.
Here is contact info for my buddy who has a water jetting business. He can do what you are asking for, he has done a hundreds of parts for me. If you do contact him, tell him I sent you, Harvey.

Thanks guys, I'll give some of these places a call and see what happens. If anyone else knows of places please post them. You can never have to many sources. wearymicrobe, got any numbers for the places in Michigan?
Ain't far to NC from TN, and all else equal, I believe I'd rather do business up close and personal, even face to face potentially, than to mess with shipping, phone calls & emails back and forth halfway across the US. Anyhow, TN has all sorts of industry, have you checked around your part of TN?
