There are big machines for professional/industrial ID-0 card punching,
I've seen them on alibaba.com and other chinese trading sites a number
of times. Unfortunately a bit too large for our purpose.
As for a laser cutter solution: Roh, I believe your Berlin hackerspace
Raumfahrtagentur now has a laser cutter. Is this one capable of cutting
through the smartcard plastic? If yes, that could be an inexpensive
solution at least for the German OsmocomBB / OpenBSC hackers...
Cheers,
