I've used Sciss a few times, they are Model Engineer friendly.

I suppose it depends on how the sheet is cut if most is going to be removed with the water jet cutting to leave chassis rails and cross members of say 12mm high x 6mm wide that is not a lot different to a fully size car cassis made from 100 x 50 box section.

Or it could be that the waterjet will only be used to cut the outer profile which can then be milled into a "tub"

Can't wait for the cut job, any drawings ?

Just venturing into laser myself at the moment, very pleased with the quotes that I am getting,  but its all about quantities.

You will probably have to take a screen shot and post as a .jpg image

That certainly does not look to have much in the way of excess weight. Before seeing it I thought CNC would be another option and it still would be but would leave a larger radius in the internal corners unless a lot of time was spent cleaning them out with a small dia cutter with long flutes/shank so the Water Jet method will be best.

Sciss will quote from an e-mailed file quite quickly, you will need to discuss finish as they have about 5 grades of cut depending on what surface finish you want, it is possible to have a different finish on the sam epart eg a fine one on the outside and coarser on the inner cutouts.

Thanks for the pic, will be watching this one.
