1/4" would work fine, just if I was doing rapid prototyping you usually pay per cubic inch of material and it only needs to be 2/10 thick

As Deslok says, 0.2" is not going to be available typically. Although 0.2" = 5.08mm, so maybe 5mm metric would work.

Send a drawing & quantity, I can make up a quote for you.

It would take a little away from the design but could still work i think.  Can you cnc plastic thats 2/10 inch thick?

Possibly I might be able to cut these out of 1/4" stock and sand off 0.05 inches with a 48" sheet sander. That is, if you think you'll need enough to fill a sheet.

could yes, have no. 2/10 is a bit of an odd size normal sizes to have on hand are 1/16 1/8 and 1/4(slightly thicker than 2/10 at .25 inches)

Are these something 2d that could be run  a cnc laser?(you say thin plastic i realise rapid prototyping is usually 3d)

I'm looking for someone that has a MakerBot or access to a rapid prototyping machine to make some simple thin plastic prototypes for me and take payment in bitcoin.  Let me know what you would charge.
