I've read this post and your prior thread seeking CNC services with interest.  
There are many ways to approach this.  Can you narrow the solution set for me 
a bit?  How many badges would you like to make?  
How little would you like to spend?  
How much would you be willing to spend?  
How much of your own manufacturing time are you willing to spend on each 
badge?  

I use CNC services in the $60 - $100/hr range.  You might get programming and 
machining for a simple Tux outline in as little as two hours.  Might.  This 
depends on how clear your directions are to the CNC folks.  A sculpted, 
rounded, 3D die will be more.  Material cost should be low since the volume 
required is low.
