Laser cutting service for 0.4mm brass?

[Barry]

Does anybody know of a company that would laser cut 0.4mm brass?

I've found a few companies that do laser cutting, but mainly plastic, acrylic, card etc

I think I remember seeing something about a few guys getting some brass parts laser cut either by or through perfect32?

Might also be worth asking someone on 3D Printing UK,A 3D printer can fairly easily be converted to a laser cutter,

They're one of the one i know about, but unfortunately they don't cut brass

I haven't kept up to date on laser cutting for about 5 years, but to my knowledge to cut any metal requires quite a powerful laser with some special extras because I fmetals reflective properties. Therefore even 0.4mm brass requires a cutter on the level and cost of those that can cut 3mm steel etc. It would possibly be worth messaging a local company that does metal fabrication, though I expect any hobbiest's volume of cutting wouldn't justify the cost for setting up the material and the time to cut. 

Given that it's thin brass I'd suggest looking for a photo etching company, or having a go with a DIY photo etch kit?
