Josh,
I may not be up to speed, but there are startup costs for anything.
Those costs have to be added to the product cost and for small volumes,
it can be prohibited.
Entering a CAD file, getting scheduling from a small shop that may have
a full schedule already can be costly.

Hi Don,
Sounds like you're not up to speed on 21st century sheet metal fabrication.
Small volume parts like this would be cut on a laser and bent with a CNC press
brake. The only setup is loading the programs and there is no tooling. If
someone draws the parts using a CAD program like Solid Edge, the resulting 3D
models can be utilized directly by the vendor. Even small job shops have laser
cutting ability, especially for small gauge material like this.
