This is really intersting to me, I work in boats (started off in yachts) and my pipe dream is custom and small batch composites molding and casting of vehicle parts (boats, motorcycles, cars, etc,).
I'm probably a year off from the capability(CNC routing), but if you ever want to try a custom design I'd be game for making that my test project. I have a commercial account with a composites distributor so I can get virtually any material, and would be able to produce fiberglass, carbon fiber, or any typed of poured resin including additives and pigments.
