CNC Project Development

March 4, 2010 9:11 AM

I'm in Wisconsin and trying to develop a product made out of wood that has some intricate(artistic) design requirements and so I'm thinking of a CNC 3D router or a company that can take my lame drawings and come up with a program and/or manufacture the product. Maybe someone works for a shop that does this type of work or knows someone who does. Thanks

If you just need a single one, or a few, you might want to check out 100K Garages.

Many custom cabinet manufacturers have CNC routers and should be able to accommodate you. You could also have luck with a custom plastics manufacturer, I worked at a plastics company for a summer and did CNC work with a variety of materials.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I checked out some shops around town and found a willing cabinet shop who can help develop a prototype. Love this site.

Thanks again
