    Yes, I understand it will be expensive - I'm simply hoping for the names of a couple of companies that are capable of doing it....

    Those are a few that I use. There are a few more around. Protomold is very fast and professional. You can create an account on their site. Upload a file and usually get a quote back in 12 hours or so. I use them for plastic molds on low volume stuff. They can be pricey though.

    They also offer cnc machining as well. The part drives which process you use. Machining in many cases is still way cheaper than printing unless the part is super detailed.
