Also: because most consumer and music electronics manufacturing has moved to China in the last 10 years, a number of electronic assembler, PCB fabrication, and sheet-metal fabricators have gone out of business in North American and Europe. As a result, the remaining firms are often desperate for business. No matter how much they ask for your business, you are responsible for checking out their capabilities and reputations before giving them a large contract or job.

'''"Metal Printing"'''
This is a commonplace process that prints color ink on aluminum, which is then anodized into place. The result is a very high-resolution artwork, better than screenprinting, and tougher than other methods because the anodized oxide coating is very tough and protects the artwork.

Many companies offer this service. They typically do not perform drilling, punching, or other sheet-metal fabrication; such operations would have to be performed by a sheet-metal specialist or by the manufacturer. Most "Dotcom" and all Doepfer module panels are made with the metalprint process.
