    My back plate design has got to the point where I don't have the tools to easily make it.

    So I'm wondering if anyone knows roughly what it would cost to have this laser cut, and if anyone knows of any companies that are happy to do a small one off items like this. I'm in the Portsmouth area (Hampshire/West Sussex).

    The plate I'm hoping to use is 355x280x3mm

    laser cuting costs a lot...you could get it punched that would proly be about £30-40 depending who punched it ,the laser cut i think would be £100+but im unsure?

    if you get stuck i can always cut it for you.. as long as you have the vector file for the panel.

    Only question is what colour as long as its acrylic :)

    Forgot to say i have a Universal Laser 4.60 Cutter at home :)

    www.emachineshop.com will do those custom jobs, they will provide you with free software to import your design into, the cool thing i like, is you can see the exact cost of the design including shipping and all stuff right in the software before you even send it in.

    If not that, I would suggest you scout for a local machineshop with laser abilities if the website link seems too complicated
