The foundry lost the tooling??? That's right up there with the dog ate my home work. Here's a thought. Tell the foundry to find the tooling or replace it.
Couldn't find anyone to do the injection molding for the medallion? Really??? I don't know how many units we are talking here but if you have the tooling there has to be HUNDREDS of small companies that do this kind of work. I've delivered presses to lots of them.
You can find used presses at industrial auctions for the price of scrap almost but the cost of moving them isn't cheap.
