Cavx , appreciate you trying, I knew it was a shot in the dark,anyway....however I did get my hands on a pallet , identical to this pallet , but its orange and its huge....this is probably my only alternative to getting one , I will have to make it myself..I guess

Are there any other ways to have some made from a CAD file that aren't as expensive?

No probs. There is a pallet outside of work that has the same slots you want but only in the centre, so you would need to chop several up to get the look you want.
Tooling is not cheap for anything custom. Unless you are producing 1000s, forget injection molding and even Vac Form won't be cheap at this size.
Haven't seen this tread pop up.
I have a proper cad file of the pallet, and received measurements from original pallet maker using their only remaining sample.
Injection Molding has never been an option. Even the mold cost in China will be through the roof.
Vac forming is not an option.
I am making a plastic/laser cut prototype, to get costing on metal cutting.
Already received 2 different types of quotes to laser cut parts for an entire pallet, and the cost was 750-1100
Now if we could get a forum guy with a 48in laser cutting bed.....

I'm not interested in one of these Pallets but i'm finding this thread very interesting, it's even got me eyeing up plastic pallets when I see them just on the off chance I come across one that is very close, i hope you guys get one from somewhere.
I am not the person who found them. They were polite to give us measurements from their only remaining sample.
It is not up to me to release that info.
Probably wouldn't be a good idea, because they would be bombed with emails and phone calls.
However, I will share the dimensional information if someone is interested in making their own pallet.

OK gentleman...I wanted to show this, it has potential.....it is not accurate but the closet thing I could find, so this was a rare find for me, I am sure these are scattered thru other businesses , however this is the only one I have ever seen and it was a lucky break, let me know your thoughts on this future project......this is how big the pallet is to my Pulse Rifle...
