From design files to finished parts — fast, accurate, and built in the USA.

At 865FabLab, we provide end-to-end fabrication services for prototypes, custom parts, retail components, and short-run builds. Whether you’re refining a product idea or need physical parts produced from finalized CAD, we handle cutting, forming, printing, and finishing — all under one roof.

What We Offer

We combine precision fabrication tools with flexible workflows to help you move quickly from idea to physical outcome.

Our prototyping and fabrication services include:

  • CNC routing and contour cutting

  • Laser cutting and engraving

  • Knife cutting and V-grooving for structural boards

  • 3D printing for parts, enclosures, and models

  • Vacuum forming for packaging and molded components

  • Material bonding, gluing, assembly, and edge finishing

  • Print-to-cut workflows with camera registration

  • File prep, cleanup, and nesting for efficient production

Equipment We Use

  • Kimla CNC Router — high-accuracy milling of wood, plastics, aluminum

  • Kimla Verone Knife Cutter — perfect for Re-board®, foam, and flexible materials

  • CO₂ Laser Cutter — ideal for acrylic, wood, and detailed cuts

  • Vacuum Former — for forming lightweight plastics over molds

  • FDM & Resin 3D Printers — for fast, strong prototypes

  • Large-format UV printer — for direct-to-substrate graphics
