Commission Work

Need something made? We can make it for you.

Not everyone wants a membership and a Saturday afternoon with a laser cutter. If you have one thing that needs building — a prototype, a part, a run of 200 — our sister company OCreate takes it from idea to finished product.

Two ways to get your project made

The Makr Lab and OCreate are run by the same people, in the same city, with the same equipment. The only question is who runs the machine.

Do it yourself

The Makr Lab — Membership

You want to learn the tools, build the thing yourself, and keep coming back. Membership gets you the workspace, the equipment, and people who will show you how it all works.

Best if: you are a hobbyist, a maker, a cosplayer, a tinkerer, or you have a lot of projects ahead of you.

Done for you

OCreate — Commissioned Projects

You want the finished part in your hands. Send us the file or just describe the idea, approve a quote, and we build it — no membership, no learning curve, no minimum.

Best if: you have one project, a deadline, a product to launch, or no interest in operating the machines yourself.

Still not sure? Tell us what you are trying to make and we will point you to whichever side makes more sense — even if that means less money for us.

How it works

From idea to finished part

  1. Tell us about it

    Upload a file or describe what you need. If you are not sure what is possible, that is a fine place to start.

  2. Get a quote

    Use the instant estimator for 3D prints, or send it over for a custom quote on everything else.

  3. Approve and build

    We confirm materials, tolerances, and timeline, then get it on a machine.

  4. Pick up or ship

    Collect it locally in Orange County or have it shipped to you.

Would you rather learn to make it yourself?

That is what The Makr Lab is for. Memberships get you workspace, tools, and a community that will happily talk you through your first laser cut.
