Carbon-arc gouge?
Water jet?
Hot wire?
EDM?

Are your parts a honeycomb composite, foam core, solid 40mm <ouch>?
Find a good waterjet shop and send him some samples of your stock, he should (if he wants the job bad enough) do a test cut for you and then you can aprove the cut quality yourself. Test cuts allow for a more accurate price quote as well, especially in unknown material types.
I used to do contract work for the local waterjet guy here, www.advancedcuttingtech.com , send him a few pieces (1'x2' or so), describe the type of cut you are looking for (Square, Round, Different shapes, Tapered holes, etc), specify the accuracy you need and see if you like the quality.
