    anyone here knows of any machining shops that accepts web based orders and ships overseas (outside of US) ? or anyone here does it ?


    I need a workshop or someone with access to CNC machines to help me mill some custom alu standoffs for a case mod proj i am working on. Needs to be shipped outside the US as I not in the US

    it's nothing complicated in design.


    thanks all/

    I have found that most small workshops with a CNC will take your order. You can walk in from the street, but bring some printed CAD drawings with you.

    That will limit your order to simple prismatic or cylindrical components.

    Isn't Singapore one of the manufacturing capitals of the world?! Surely there is someone in your own country who could sort this out for you?

    Oh and by the way, the correct way to word the thread title would have been "Does anyone here do aluminium CNC milling?" for future reference.

    Nope, certainly not! I buy a lot of electronics and flashlight body components that are manufactured in Singapore.
