As Easy as 1-2-3: Do It All or Just What You Need
Whether you're hands-on with designs and materials or want us to handle everything, our consultation builds your custom project plan (and invoice) seamlessly. Let's make the complex feel effortless. If we can’t handle your needs we will do our best to connect you with the Fab Lab, Makerspace, or Manufacturer that can.
Dream it.
We make manufacturing simple and affordable. In just one chat, we'll map out your project's needs—whether it is cutting stuff with laser beams or a precision waterjet - we build a plan (including your quote). Skip steps you already have handled to save time and money.
We start by understanding your vision and pinpointing the best manufacturing methods. Need laser cutting or engraving? CNC routing for wood? Plasma for metal or waterjet for ceramics? Our experts guide you. Pro Tip: Bring your own proven design files in the right format (e.g., SVG for laser, DXF for CNC), and jump ahead—saving up to 50% on design fees!
Next Stop: Material Selection
Match the materials
Source Smart, Build Strong. Will you provide your own materials?
Or let us source them for quality and convenience? We make recommendations to best match each tool or method of manufacting. Just some examples of what is possible:
Glowforge (Laser Cutting/Engraving): Proofgrade acrylic, wood, or leather for flawless results. [Check it out Proofgrade - to inspire].
Onefinity CNC (Wood Routing): Baltic birch plywood or hardwoods for precision milling. [Link to Onefinity materials guide].
Langmuir Crossfire (Plasma Metal Cutting): Mild steel sheets up to 1/2" thick. [Link to CNC Plasma Cutting info].
Wazer Waterjet (Ceramics/Composites): Tile, stone, or glass for clean, intricate cuts. [Link to Wazer materials].
Pro Tip: Using compatible materials like Proofgrade means no setup or speed and feed tweaks—or potentially cut costs by supplying your own materials!
