Dear RP collegue,
you should also have a look to Stratoconception which could provide you
large scale parts, because it is based on use of cutting machines, like
laser, milling and so on. So, it depends on the lenght of the axis of the
cutting machine.
You can use all cuttable materials, like aluminum, wood, and so on.
You can ask for more informations in sending an email to cirtes@wanadoo.fr.
They also have a web site : www.cirtes.fr
Best Regards,
Prof. A. BERNARD
