^^ if anyone could get the CAD files from them, I have a CNC that could cut them out no problem. But from the perspective of a CAD designer myself, I would have a really hard time letting go of the design work.

I would tend to believe that if you could get ahold of the designer of that product, even if they have closed up shop... you could probably get them to make another batch if you put a deposit on the materials. I would figure they probably outsourced the CNC work to a machine shop, and it could be as simple as a phone call for them to get more made... so it would only be money in their pocket if you could get ahold of them.

I believe they were making them in-house, they had bought some nice fabrication and CNC stuff for their shop. I'm guessing "frozen" above means the blueprints are considered corporate assets and they're financially/legally frozen while some process unfolds?
