I work in a CNC shop and as vondik said, its damn expensive. It's cheaper to go to a tooling shop and get them to make what ever custom part you want on a regular vert mill/lathe. It's still going to cost you a pretty penny. Material, tooling, plus the two or three hours some schmoe clocks onto it.

If you gots the money to blow, give'er. Just search canada411 for "Tooling" shops in your area and call around. I'd sugest you have a quality drawing on Mastercam or Solidworks instead of napkin.

cheers
