There is also here in California:
http://www.millerdial.com/nameplates.shtmlMiller supply panels in either of the anodized/photosensitive
aluminium plate processes Metalphoto and Fotofoil.
The latter being the one used on Moog modules and still used by
Modusonics.
[ reference:
http://www.synthesizers.com/moogpanels.txt ]
∗ note: Miller get their plate material from Metalphoto which is now
the original manufacturer of both types of pre-anodized
photosensistive aluminium.
$500.00 minimum charge. Haven't used them myself.
I'd seen a sample of laser etching from a local company used by a
precision engineering firm I know here, but lost track of the name for
the moment. I had meant to talk to them about imaging fonts beyond
simplistic thin line lettering from the sample. I'll forward when I
track it down. Think this would be better for MOTM since the
information I was given was they would burn graphics onto pre-anodized
drilled panel material.
There were a number of quite a few other local panel makers found in
hunting around on the internet that supply laser etching. You could
make a career out of checking out all these houses. Fair assumption
you'd want to find a place like FPE that handle the whole panel from
your artwork or file or from a punched anodized panel.
