Controlled depth and dimensional detail when a flat cut is not enough.

Parts, props, and unusual forms built layer by layer.

Send the useful details

What we need from you.

The clearer the input, the faster we can give you a useful number and schedule.

File format

AI, PDF, EPS, DXF, SVG, SKP, DWG, or whatever you have ready.

Material

Tell us what it is, or tell us the performance you need and we can advise.

Quantity + tolerance

One test part or a production run. Include the fit and repeatability the part needs.

Finish + delivery

Name the finish, packing needs, and required delivery date up front.

Turnaround

Plain answer.
Clear date.

We will tell you what is realistic when we quote it. Turnaround depends on material, file readiness, quantity, finish, and the current production queue. If a date is fixed, put it in the first message.

Most repeatable parts are easiest to schedule when the file and material are ready.

Built for repeat work

A production partner that knows the handoff.

Film and TV teams, theater set builders, fabricators, and other shops use us when the part needs to come back consistent and on time. We can start with a test, keep the setup clear, and run the next batch from the same approved file.
