Yet, I cannot think of a process to accomplish this. Not many places I contacted do sinking electric discharge machining, but those who do said too much money to make the electrodes to machine one item. Wire Electric Discharge Machining cannot make it round.
I been looking at lost-wax/investment casting, but most places do large scale orders for companies. Some places offer casting for artists, but they need the actual piece to mold.
Do you might know of some other process that could accomplish this design?
