I’ve done some die-cut work with them for super-soft 40a durometer silicone sheet, and they did a great job. I think one of my coworkers also did VHB sheet with them, likely die-cut.

Thanks for all of the posts. There is quite a list of
laser shops I had never heard of. Since I needed wood
cut with no intricate shapes I went with CNC router.
The price was a third of advanced laser.
In the end he delivered in one day. The material was
thin and some of the delicate pcs were banged up, but
usable. Be clear if you would need cosmetic pcs.

No ventilation to cut wood.
We've used the Laser Shop in Menlo Park. They cut
full 3/4" plywood sheets
for a good price.
For laser cutters I have used and been happy with:
