Default Kit Cutter recommendation

I acquired a set of plans for an 89" Grumman Skyrocket recently. I started looking for a kit cutter company but have had no luck so far. Can anyone suggest a company that will scan a set of plans and cut the formers and ribs? PCK doesn't do this service so that's not an option.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have use AK Models for several year for my kits, NEVER had on complaint from a customer. They have a machine that cuts even 1/4" Birch ply with no dust left on the parts and the edge is not blacked and dirty. http://ak-models.com/
