Metal casting in chicago…?
ok so heres the thing i need a piece of metal shaped in certain design(something similar to wrench basically) but since i dont know how do i go about making that piece im wondering if theres any shops in chicago that would do that for me if anyone knows im able to pay for it so it doesnot have to be free but how much they would charge if anyone also knows the price.thank you
hard to tell without seeing your design whether it really need to be cast or better to be machined. Depends on the shape and purpose and metal involved.
but all you need to do is go to the chicago yellow pages and look for foundries:

Then you get on the phone an phone a couple and see what they say. Obviously it also depends what kind of metal you need your shape in. As it will be custom work, prepare that it won’t be cheap.
