Saw and ad for this place:

http://emachineshop.com/index.html

Use their software or import from your own. They give you a price online. Some of the examples show this stuff is expensive unless you are doing a run of >100 pieces.

Would be neat thought to fab nice brackets etc.

Even though I think it appears to be a cool idea

I bet you could end up buying some useless almost fitting parts LOL

So if i wanted to make custom 914/6 aircleaner covers in the basic style of the K&N aluminum covers but with a 914/6 logo on them, and i provided full 2D cad drawings, you could beat the price of eMachineShop?

As discussed on this board previously CNC machining prices are dependent on quantity ordered. There are so many Internet fronts that this could be an offshore manufacturer with which I would not be competitive. I would be happy to take a look at any club member project and prepare quotes. Is the original part NLA?

Along the same lines, what software is available for the hobbyist that can export to something that will work with a mill, lathe, CNC, etc. PTC had a free version of their Pro/E Desktop that could export to IGES files among other things. Unfortunately it was expire-ware and the product hit end-of-life. So what else is out there in the free, cheap, or borrowed categories?

yeck...paper???

Patrick might be able to save you some bucks if done "paperless"...I deal with a machineshop that the average price is 20-30% lower than other shops due to no paper...i send him my Pro/E 3D file and they do the rest.

AFAIK, this part was never made, sounds like a custom part......

Jon,

let me see what I can dig up for you...and no, it will not be the full-blown version of Pro/E, but you'll like it I'm sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
