MH:
The best place to get samples is from service bureaus in your geographic area that you
might consider doing work with in the future. See the extensive service bureau directory
on our site; there are a lot of possibilities in your area. In general, however, no one is
going to build a specific file for free for you for comparison purposes; you'll just have
to ask for something they might have around. Call directly to the sales department and
don't bother emailing. Explain your intent.
Another general direction is to contact the technology providers directly. Some of
these companies have small sample parts they make for trade shows, etc. You can find them
all in our commercial directory pages. Call the sales dept. directly.
Be forewarned - selecting a process is not necessarily as straightforward as just
looking at sample parts. Every case is different. I'd suggest you think about what your
company is trying to accomplish, while giving the FAQ's section of our site a read
through. It starts at:
