Hello. I am in a school project making a hydraulic assembly in SolidWorks. I need to make some prototypes. The device I am designing is a square billet aluminum block 15x15x15cm that has a circular bore (cylinder) in the center. There is a piston inside the cylinder sort to speak. The clearance between the cylinder and the piston is approx
5/100mm to 1/10mm or in this range. There are some triangular holes in the piston in the center and some holes in the hudraulic block with threads.
Could anybody on this list recommend a US or European machine shop that could make such a prototype in small qty to a reasonable cost ? Shipping from US is often easier than from Europe and I think prices are better ! I am located in Northern Europe.
Hope this is not too off topic, but it is SW related and I know this list has many experienced members in the design and machining field.
Regards Hyd Man.
