Clarifying Our Manufacturing Mission
When companies first encounter FamilyMake, they occasionally ask: "Are you a hobbyist printing studio, or do you handle industrial contract manufacturing?" Others wonder: "Can you manufacture 50 custom electronics enclosures for our commercial pilot, or only single one-off pieces?"
To eliminate ambiguity, here is an open guide to who we partner with, the types of work we take on, and how we operate.
Who We Work With
- Hardware Startups & IoT Innovators: Teams developing smart meters, agricultural sensors, trackers, and consumer electronics who need custom enclosures, internal brackets, and pilot run production (10 to 500 units) before committing to injection molding.
- Mechanical & Industrial Engineers: Professional CAD designers who require strict adherence to dimensional tolerances, certified engineering polymers (PA12, PC, ASA, TPU), and CNC milled metal parts.
- Factories & Processing Plants: Maintenance and reliability engineers needing replacement machinery components, assembly fixtures, and poka-yoke jigs delivered in days.
- Healthcare & Medical Innovators: Non-implant medical device developers needing biocompatible skin-contact PETG housings and sterilizable diagnostic trays.
- Architecture & Real Estate Studios: Firms requiring monolithic scale presentation models and facade mockups built directly from Revit or Rhino models.
What We Don't Do
To maintain rigorous industrial focus, we do not print novelty desk toys, decorative trinkets, or unverified low-resolution models downloaded without dimensional intent. Our equipment and team are dedicated to engineering, business, and production-grade applications.
Batch Sizes & Commitment
Whether you need 1 prototype verification piece or a 1,000-unit pilot production run, every file is treated under strict non-disclosure (NDA) protocols with documented dimensional inspection before shipping.
