Got a Guzzi part that NLA ?? Never fear, emachineshop is here !
http://emachineshop.com/
From the AP news report -
"Programs for computer-aided design, or CAD, have been around for decades,
but eMachineShop.com appears to be the first service that checks whether a
design can be made, tells the customer how much it will cost. If the
customer wants
the item the design goes to a "real world" machine shop for manufacturing.
The key to this enterprise is free design software provided by eMachineShop
that aims to be simple enough for hobbyists and other non-engineers."
One downloads the design software, draws the part (including manufacturing
feedback), and orders the finished product. The design is sent to one of
several
machine shops contracting with emachineshop.com."
