Our community makerspace in Anaheim. 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, woodworking, electronics and textiles — open to members, and where you can collect an order in person.

OCreate LLC is a custom fabrication shop in Orange County, California. We prototype, print, cut and machine — and we run the makerspace and the Maker Faire that keep the local maker community going.
What we do
Most of our work starts the same way: someone has an idea and needs a real object to know whether it works. We turn that into something you can hold — with 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, CNC machining, and the small-batch production runs that come after a prototype proves itself.
We work with hobbyists chasing a weekend project and with businesses validating a product before committing to tooling. The process is the same; only the paperwork differs.
How we work
We'd rather tell you a different process would serve you better than take the job and hand you a part that doesn't do what you needed. If your geometry is going to fight the process you've picked, you'll hear about it during the quote, not after the invoice.
Your designs stay yours. We work under NDA routinely, we don't use client work as marketing without asking, and uploaded files are stored privately with no public URL — see our privacy policy for exactly how.
Three things under one roof
OCreate is the fabrication business, but it isn't the whole picture.
Maker Faire Orange County
We are the licensed producers of Maker Faire OC — the greatest show and tell on earth — held every year at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa. Dates for the next faire are announced on the faire site.
