And there was light — cut clean, printed precise.

A design studio building small-batch objects from laser-cut wood and acrylic, and 3D-printed detail work. Every piece starts as a flat file and ends as something you can hold.

How a piece gets made

From sketch to shelf

01

Draft

Every object is drawn as a vector file first — kerf, tolerances, and joinery worked out on screen before any material is touched.

02

Cut or print

Flat panels go to the laser; rounded or interlocking detail goes to the printer. Most pieces use both in the same build.

03

Fit and finish

Parts are test-assembled, sanded or cleaned, then sealed or dyed by hand. Nothing ships until it's been put together once already.

04

Pack flat, arrive whole

Where possible, pieces are engineered to ship flat and assemble without glue — fewer breakages, lower shipping cost, same object.

What we work in

Two processes, one shop

Laser cutting gives flat material precise, repeatable edges. 3D printing fills in what a flat sheet can't do — curves, threads, snap-fits.

BIRCH PLY & MDF3–6mm

Laser-cut panels

Shelving, lighting, signage, and mechanism-driven pieces like puzzle boxes and clocks. Edges are cut clean enough to leave raw or finish with oil, stain, or paint.

CAST & FROSTED ACRYLIC3–8mm

Laser-cut acrylic

Edge-lit signage, dividers, and stands. Cast acrylic polishes to a glass-clear edge straight off the bed; frosted stock is used where we want the light to diffuse.

PLA & PETGFDM

3D-printed detail

Brackets, hinges, fittings, and small enclosures that a flat sheet can't produce — printed to snap or thread into the laser-cut parts around them.

RESINSLA

Fine detail casting

Small-run figures, jewelry components, and any part where surface finish matters more than build speed.
