Why own a CNC ? Just build the program for the part and rent production time. There are loads of small [relatively] shops that have excess machinery capacity now because the economy is in the tank. Production demand is down, but the machine sets there costing space and money..
I'm on several machinery auction lists, every day there is another shop doing a bankruptcy sale because they couldn't get enough orders to keep the machines busy. Rent time, make parts, sell them.. Unfortunately, for the rubber part, it would require a set of molds. Last time I had a mold set made, it ran a bit over $120,000, so recovery costs would require volume production and sales. Yet, there is likely a work around on that, I just haven't thought of it yet.
