Hello, hope everyone is well. So, I will get to the problem. I am a model boat racer. I am also a builder. Its been years since I needed a mold made. Now I need one and most guys I have asked are no help at all.
I have the detail specs of my boat design in a .DWG file which can easily be transferred to a CNC cad file. We are talking 40 inches in length and 7 inches in width. Not a Large Project. I do not want to get into making my own mold. I want a pro mold finished and ready to go. Yes, I can answer all the questions for the parameters involved. This will be a mold made for Vacuum Infusion of Composite fabrics,, laminates. There will be a post cure in an oven at around 180 degrees fahrenheit. I know i really dont need to give details but those are the basics.
The problem is that I cannot find a company who will take on making a mold for me. Actually, I think I may be using the wrong wording in my searches. Today, a plug may not be necessary, even if it is, I dont want to be "Hands On" with the process. I want to hire a company to do everything and just hand over a mold to me.
I live in California. It seems to me, there should be plenty of companies, locally, willing to take this on. Yes, I am aware of costs. I just need some help in doing seaches for this kind of thing. I am asking anyone interested to put themselves in my shoes and then give me some advice on how to proceed. I am ready to go. I dont want to waste any more time spinning my wheels.
Help.
Thank You.

Look for Mike Cook in UK, he is an experienced guy and into the mini 40 class.
