Every path from idea to finished part.
7Fabs combines additive, subtractive, forming, molding, and finishing capabilities under one roof. Not sure which process fits your project? Start a quote and we'll recommend the best path.
Product development
Rapid Prototyping
We help you develop, test, and refine ideas with high-quality prototypes for form, fit, function, presentation, and manufacturability review — from a first proof-of-concept through pre-production builds.
- Concept development and sketches
- Proof-of-concept builds
- Functional prototypes
- Visual and appearance models
- Material selection guidance
- Iteration and refinement
- Functional testing support
- Small-batch prototype runs
Additive manufacturing
3D Printing
FDM, SLA, and SLS printing for functional parts, fixtures, enclosures, display models, props, and short production runs. We help you choose the process and material that fit the job — not just the printer that's free.
- FDM for strong, economical parts
- SLA for fine detail and smooth surfaces
- SLS for durable functional nylon parts
- Fixtures, jigs, and shop aids
- Display and presentation models
- Short-run printed production
Design support
CAD & Engineering Support
Whether you have a napkin sketch or a full assembly that needs design-for-manufacturing cleanup, our team creates the models, drawings, and documentation your project needs to move forward.
- 3D CAD modeling from sketches or ideas
- Engineering drawings and documentation
- Assembly modeling
- Design-for-manufacturing review
- File repair and conversion
- Revision support during prototyping
Capture & recreate
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
Have a part but no drawings? We can capture physical parts, measure critical features, and recreate manufacturable CAD — useful for legacy components, replacement parts, and improving existing designs.
- 3D scanning of physical parts
- Measurement and feature capture
- CAD reconstruction
- Legacy and obsolete part recreation
- Fit and interface verification
- Design improvement during rebuild
Subtractive & forming
Metal Fabrication
Machined, cut, formed, and welded metal parts — from one-off brackets to small-batch production. Finishing options like powder coating and anodizing are available to complete the job.
- CNC machining
- Laser cutting
- Sheet metal cutting and forming
- Welding
- Brackets, enclosures, and fixtures
- Powder coating and anodizing
Large-format or specialty metal work may be completed with trusted fabrication partners under 7Fabs project management — we'll tell you up front when that applies.
Molding & forming
Plastic Fabrication
Beyond 3D printing, we cut, form, and mold plastic parts: laser-cut acrylic, vacuum-formed shells, silicone molding and castings, and scale models — for prototypes and short production runs.
- Laser-cut plastic parts
- Silicone molding and casting
- Overmolded and rubber-like parts
- Vacuum forming
- Scale models
- Molding support for production intent
Surface & appearance
Finishing & Engraving
The right finish makes a prototype presentable and a production part durable. We finish parts we make — and parts you bring us.
- Painting
- Powder coating
- Anodizing
- Dyeing
- Sandblasting and texturing
- Laser engraving and marking
Beyond the prototype
Short-Run & Managed Manufacturing
When your prototype is ready to become a product, we support low-volume production in-house and coordinate larger runs with vetted manufacturing partners — keeping one point of contact for quality, packaging, and logistics.
- Low-volume in-house production
- Repeat-order small batches
- Supplier and partner coordination
- Assembly support
- Packaging support
- Logistics coordination
Production capacity, lead times, and pricing are confirmed per project during quoting — we don't promise capacity we haven't verified for your job.
Specialty work
Creative & Specialty Fabrication
Props, cosplay pieces, display models, themed environments, tradeshow pieces, and one-of-a-kind builds. If it needs to look right and hold up, we can build it — and we love the unusual ones.
- Props and production pieces
- Cosplay parts and armor
- Display and presentation models
- Themed and exhibit fabrication
- Tradeshow support pieces
- Electronics-assisted prototypes
