Hi Neil, ring around the local signwriters,
they almost all have CNC flatbed machines set up
for acrylic which they do all day every day.
If you take in your acrylic and a decent drawing
they can cut your shapes neat and exact in
whatever quantity you need. The operator is
usually skilled enough to whip up basic geometric
shapes in minutes, although they may ask you to
leave the job until off-peak. For a few small
pieces they'll probably charge about $10.
