Hi Fred...
Are you familiar with water jet cutting? It is pretty amazing. It uses a
high-pressure focused jet of water with abrasive power embedded in it, and
it can cut any material (steel, aluminum, cloth, leather, rubber, glass,
stone, brick, foam, wood, you name it) and can cut very thick pieces,
depending on the machine, up to even a foot. Water jet cutting is very
cheap compared to laser and torch cutting, and the pieces are so clean that
there is usually no need to do any clean up on the finished parts. There is
no heat distortion as occurs with torch and laser cutting. You just supply
the shop with a CAD or DXF file and they do the rest. Shops that do this
are quite common.
