THE SERVICE

CNC, laser, and digital fabrication built for scale.

We design and fabricate custom physical installations - from illuminated lanterns and geometric sculptures to full festival stage builds and bespoke event decor. Our shop is built around CNC routing, laser cutting, metalwork, and 3D printing, so every part is cut to spec, repeatable, and engineered to stay up as long as the show runs.

Every piece we build is designed for its specific context: the landscape it sits in, the lighting conditions it will face, the audience that will interact with it, and the story it needs to tell. Our builds have anchored festival stages, transformed gallery spaces, and created gathering points that draw people together under glowing geometric forms in the Colorado mountains.

WHAT WE OFFER

Illuminated Sculptures

CNC-routed and laser-cut geometric lanterns, light sculptures, and glowing art pieces for festivals, events, and permanent installations.

Stage Design & Build

Custom festival stage structures, DJ booths, and performance environments - designed for visual impact and projection-ready surfaces.

Event Decor

Bespoke decorative elements for events, weddings, corporate gatherings, and exhibitions - from intimate centerpieces to large-scale installations.

CNC & Digital Fabrication

Precision CNC routing, laser cutting, and 3D printing for custom components, prototypes, and production runs.

RELATED SERVICES

How this connects

Our fabrication work often serves as the physical canvas for our digital capabilities. Custom stage builds and sculptural surfaces are designed with Projection Mapping in mind - creating geometry that's purpose-built for projected content. For Interactives & Kiosks, we fabricate custom enclosures and housing that integrate seamlessly with the technology inside. And our Digital Content Creation team works alongside fabrication from day one, ensuring that physical and digital elements are designed together as a unified experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabrication tools does your shop use?
CNC routing, laser cutting, metalwork, and 3D printing, paired with traditional carpentry for larger structural builds. Our shop is based in the Colorado mountains and supports both prototype and production runs.
What have you fabricated?
Illuminated sacred-geometry lanterns (Sonic Bloom's Bloom Lanterns), full projection-dome structures (Ode to Earth, Aurora, Illumine), festival stages and DJ booths, event decor, and projection-ready surfaces engineered to hold content cleanly.
Can you build installations designed for projection?
Yes, and this is one of the reasons people come to us. Surfaces are engineered with projector angle, throw distance, and seam placement in mind, so the finished piece reads cleanly once mapped and lit.
Do you build for outdoor/festival environments?
Yes. Many of our fabrications ship to outdoor festivals and mountain installations. Pieces are engineered for wind loading, weather, and repeat assembly/teardown across a tour.
Can you design and engineer, or do you build to spec?
Both. We take projects from concept sketch through CAD, engineering, and fabrication. Equally happy to build to a designer's spec if the engineering and CNC files are ready.
Do you ship nationally?
Yes. Our fabrications have traveled to events across the United States, including Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
