<p>If the pieces have an axis of rotational symmetry then I would turn them on the lathe, (or you could search for a local machinist). If not then you could cast them. If you make originals out of wax then you can set them in oil-sand and cast them using the lost-wax method.</p>

<p>I've designed a game which requires 3D geometric pieces. For a prototype, I'd like to see these make from metal, and to look elegant. Who might craft such items? I'm not even sure which profession I might investigate.</p>

Can you use components from other games?  If its just a prototype and your just checking mechanics of a game work does the 'look' matter at this stage?

Alas their shape is important. They should also have the weight of metal (rather than, say plastic.)
