Default Re: Question about precise side cutting

I'm a CNC programer and do cut cases for myself, although it would be pretty pricey to have done. I suggest if your going to take that route, design and/or model it in a format that the machine shop can read with their CADCAM software. It will greatly reduce the cost as they will not have to re-design it all. Also try to get someone that has a waterjet machine as the setup and run time will be much less. A mill will have alot of tool presure that may deform some of the more intricate designs, whereas a waterjet should not deform them at all.
