Carbon Fiber Composite Large-Envelope Machining

My part is too big or too hard for a general machine shop. Who has the envelope and the alloy experience?

What it is

Five-axis milling and heavy turning of large monolithic parts in titanium, superalloy and hard aluminum. Distinct from general CNC work: the constraint is machine envelope and rigidity, and the qualified shop list at any given size is short.
