Prototype Fabrication Referral

Sorry, this is totally not fishing related.  Can someone provide a referral for a company/service that will create a plastics/composite prototype?  Need to assemble/fabricate a consumer good relating to swimwear, very small uncomplicated device.  Don't have any CAD renderings either, but could probably get them in short order.  And also, if anyone has any idea on budgeting for this kind of thing, that'd be great help.  Thanks in advance

let me ask around here and see if anyone has any contacts. if you can get CAD drawings then you can likely have it 3D "printed"...

I'm pretty sure they use a Dimension 3d printer.  If you ever wanted to see one in action (they're really cool), we have public gallery hours in SF at One market

I know-- shameless plug

couple of guys have used Shapeways -- http://www.shapeways.com/support/pricing  for personal printing...

Not sure if Marshall is still teaching at UCLA but I know his company is still doing fabrication.
