Bill, I have not used this service but plan to. www.emachineshop.com They have free downloadable 3D-CAD software (PC only). You send the file generated by their software to them and they make the part in most any material you want. Minimum part order is one. This is what they say about other CAD software use for importation: >Can I import an existing drawing? >Currently eMachineShop has some import capability for IGES and STL and can >import 2D DXF files. Most programs can export to one of these formats. You >may need to make some adjustments after the import. Let me know if you try it and the results of the experience.
