I need to have a custom thread gauge made. I picture something made out of a sheet of plastic that's semi-rigid and approximately .020 - .030 inches thick - although I'm very flexible in the design at this point.
I've talked to a couple of companies that do die-cutting and they can't do the fine detail that I need for the thread pitch portion. I'm not sure what manufacturing method I'm loooking for. I'm probably looking for a first run of a few hundred to a number in the low thousands. My customers need to know the thread type of the grease fittings in use on their equipment to properly order the product we sell. I would like to have the cost low enough that I could send these out as a one-time use item at a very low cost to the potential customer.
I'm hoping someone can point me toward the manufacturing method that's best suited to produce something like this and from there, I should be able to track down a company that can do this for me.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Dimensions below are in inches.
