Custom CNC machining, 3D printing, and CAD design for makers,
engineers, artists, and small businesses.
What I Do
FDM printing in PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and specialty filaments. Prototypes, end-use parts, enclosures, art pieces, and more — layer by layer, built to spec.
Router-cut parts in wood, MDF, plastics, soft metals, and foam. Precise cuts, v-carving, engravings, and full 2.5D profiles with tight tolerances.
2D drawings and 3D models ready for manufacturing. Bring a sketch, a napkin idea, or a broken part — I'll turn it into a print- or machine-ready file.
How It Works
Send a sketch, photo, description, or file. The more detail the better, but rough ideas work too.
I'll review your project and send a clear quote covering materials, time, and delivery estimate.
Once approved, I get to work. I'll keep you updated and send photos before shipping or pickup.
Local pickup in the area or shipped to you. Satisfaction guaranteed — we get it right.
