Production Parts

Production parts cut, checked and reordered by PO in Los Angeles.

Pallets stacked with identical routed plywood parts from one production run

Repeat parts for workrooms, lighting studios and product teams: arm forms, frames, bases, spines and panels, cut on our router from your STEP file in hardwood, plywood, acrylic and other plastics, foam, urethane and composite panels. Technical design, 3D scanning, site surveys, programming, cutting and QC in house, with finishing by our scenic studio when the part needs it.

We approve a first article with you, keep your CAD, part numbers and price on file, and run every reorder the same way.

The production program

How a part becomes a program

First Article

Checking a curved arm form against its blanks on the router table

We program from your STEP file and cut one sample for your approval before the run.

You sign off

Checked against your drawing, with you.

Fixtured Runs

Rows of identical routed plywood parts laid out on a bench

The run is fixtured to the approved first article, so the fortieth part matches the first.

Tolerance

Set on your drawing; sub-millimeter where the part allows.

Finished or Raw

Stack of finished white tops on a pallet outside the shop

Parts ship clean off the router and ready for your own finish, or painted, gilded and sealed by our scenic studio.

You get

One hand-off instead of two shops.

Kept on File

Rows of identical circular parts cut from one white sheet

Your CAD, toolpaths, fixtures and part numbers stay on file under your account.

Reorders

One email and a PO. Nothing to re-explain.

Send the file and the quantity

Ways to work with us

From one part to a standing reorder

Most programs start with a single part. Once the first article is approved, a reorder is a PO away.

Production parts

Repeat parts by PO, matched to the approved first article.

Technical design, 3D scanning and surveys

No files? We 3D scan your part or survey the site, build the CAD and toolpaths, and confirm them with you before cutting.

Cut and finished

Routed parts painted, gilded or aged by our scenic studio.

3D carving

Surfaces and forms in foam, hardwood and urethane.

One-off projects

Single parts and project batches are on our CNC routing and carving page.

What comes out of it

Parts we run again

Stacks of identical routed dark panels on a rack

Panel parts
