Exclamation Welding and Machine Shop Help In Richmond VA

Our team is having a hard time finding help machining a few parts for our robot.

Our usual sponsor is out of commission as they catch up from the snow.

We have reached out to dozens of shops in the area and haven't found anything better than a 3-4 week quote.

We have solid CAD drawings in all formats.

My team would be willing to pay for raw materials, labor, and even list companies as sponsors.

Anyone know of anyone that can help us out?

Thanks!

What are you looking to do? Sheet metal? 3-axis CNC?

Re: Welding and Machine Shop Help In Richmond VA

Paul,

We may be able to assist you with locating a shop that could help you out; but first we need a bit more details as to what you are looking for. Can you send screenshots or something to give us an idea of what you are actually looking to get.

Also, we aren't that far away (about 2.5 hours), so we could potentially do a hand off mid-way or something. We would like to help.

We may be able to help with some of this as well as we have most of our items back from our sponsors. I will keep an eye on this thread or shoot me a pm.
