Sheet metal manufacturer recommendations

[astro70]

Could anyone offer some recommended vendors who will take CAD files and return bent sheet metal parts (steel or aluminum)?

We had a local company making great sheet metal parts (mostly custom C-channel pieces) for us that we welded together, but they are too busy to help anymore.

I've seen some online from all over, but was not sure of cost or if they will make quantity 2 orders!

I'm interested in this as well. Hard to find sheet metal bending services for small jobs.

If you don't need the bending, Big Blue Saw offers really good prices on lasered and waterjetted parts. You could do the bending in-house, or just design without it.

A quick google search pulled these up. I'm kinda curious, so I may go through and get quotes with a part I designed and had cut and bent at a local shop for work.
