Small wooden parts

[Tabclear]

Hi all,

I'm new here.... Please forgive the asking for help so immediately...

I have a CAD object that is around 17x27x5 mm in size, it has fairly detailed embossing, a few holes between 3 and 4 mm, and some general cut outs.

I have contacted numerous CNC machinists in the hope of getting this thing made out of wood, however every last one of them have said its too small for their machines.

I think I may be lacking the terminology to properly Google search for someone to create this for me, can anyone here help?

I am hoping to mass produce this little object in wood, but at this stage I am thinking that it may just not be possible.

All help appreciated.

Thanks
Tab

Post a photo or drawing of what you need so everyone can see it and decide if they can make it for you.

What type of wood are you thinking to use on such a small part with this amount of detail

Does it have to be wood? It would be a doddle to print.

You could fume it to get a better finish:- Giving 3D printed parts a shiny smooth finish

I would like to use acrylic pressure stabilised hard wood. Maple seems to be easiest to get hold of, but any really.

I have had it printed for prototype purposes, but I would like the finished piece to be in wood.

I think you'll find these will be too expensive to produce. Thou small parts they need to be machined on 3 sides which means setting machine 3 times ensuring accurate relocation.
Also 2 operations are full 3D which takes long time for just a few parts and to do properly in larger volumes will require a special Jig to be made. Again timely and expensive to make, esp if lots are to be made in one go.

How about a mould and using resin.?
