CNC brass engraving from an stl file

http://www.3dprint-uk.co.uk/ take stl files.

http://i.materialise.com/blog/entry/...el-3d-printing, will produce metal prints which should be suitable for your processing.

I think you can upload an stl file for an online quote.

I'm late to this and read the thread but may have missed the point. If so apologies!

Was the OP ever able to get the models cut? As I have been working with some cutting protocols that might take the time down and then there is also FormLabs who are bringing out a true 3D printer (stereolithography proper). It is in plastic, but the resolution is fine enough for what you are wanting to do.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for asking. Jonathan and I are making good progress with the machining. We've done some R and D tests cuts which have been very successful and are close to machining the moulds. Jonathan couldn't have been more helpful with his positive "let's give this a try" approach.
I'm waiting on some new cutters to arrive at the moment, but when we have some news I'll let you know how we get on.

Also, thanks for the printer info, I'll have a look at it.
