....why bother? Better to associate yourself with a good laser cutter, one that will keep your intellectual property confidential, and simply farm out the cutting. Cheaper for you in the short run (pun intended).
I own a laser here if anyone is interested in working together on a venture. I'm an engineer at Boeing in the "real world" but am always out here in the shop running parts. I've cut many one-offs, scale ups and a prototypes for larger UAVs.
Shoot me an email if you have something in mind. Helps if you can do CAD on your own too... (ACAD, TurboCAd, Catia all are fine)
