    Can anyone recomend a machine shop in the Baltimore area? In the mid-Atlantic region?

    I've been doing some composites work in my spare time, mostly learning processes and making parts for my car. One of the issues I'm having is that one particular part which I want to replace is very warped and mishappen from heat. I can make a fiberglass mold from it, but the resulting part will still be warped, etc.

    I'm looking for a shop or person that has the capability to make a one off mold tool (already been modeled in 3D CAD) out of MDF or some other type of wood. This is definitely going to require CNC because of the surfacing that will be required. Most, if not all, of the shops we deal with at work wouldn't look at this because its one part from a hobbyist. Plus, I don't want it to look like I'm trying to get something for less than market or as a favor based on the work we do with them (severe ethics issue).

    So, as I asked, does anyone know of a shop or person in the Baltimore or outlying areas who could and would be willing to produce something like this at a rasonable price?

    Thanks,

    Rich
