If I 3D design how I want a panel to be cut, can I order it pre-cut to specifications online?

I want to design some furniture in SketchUp using panels of wood (or any durable enough material) and connect them together with notches, with part numbers engraved on them as a bonus.

 

I've seen some websites that allow you to send a software file and they'll cut wood to your specification, but they don't seem to have prices on them.

 

Is there any supplier anyone can recommend me to send my notch cut panel designs to? I want the panels delivered to my address so I can stick them together.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

usually depends on what file format they can accept. usually a dxf, raster file or even an illustrator file.

usually they will ask how you are presenting them the design element for their equipment to use.

If you have the design files, send it in for a quote and see what they say. A fair ballpark estimate is about 100 USD per hour of work. Then add on shipping, which will be a bit unless these are all small pieces. I'd recommend finding someone local to do it. Or even better a maker-space with a CNC router or laser cutter where you could do it yourself (with assistance).
