Plastic Lamellar plates (Newcastle, Auk, Effingham) are made from injection molded plastic. These molds are precision machined and worth thousands of dollars each. There are no capabilities for altering the plates for individual orders. If you have enough demand for a new pattern of plate to offset the cost of designing a new mold we could discuss that option with you.
