AmbitForge · a one-person shop run by Manny in Wilmington, MA

You describe it.
I build it.

One-person design & fabrication shop. Bring a sketch, a photo, or a half-formed idea — get back a working physical part: designed, 3D-printed, wired if it needs wiring, and installed if you want.

Tell me what you want made No account, no commitment — I reply within 2 business days.
How it works

Three steps, no mystery

  1. Describe it

    Use the form below. A photo and a rough budget help, but "it broke and nobody sells it anymore" is a perfectly good brief.

  2. Approve the design & quote

    You get a CAD preview and one fixed quote — labor, materials, delivery, all on it. A 50% deposit books your build slot. Two revision rounds included.

  3. Get the working part

    Printed, assembled, tested. Local delivery or shipped. If it needs to go into a machine, I can install it with you.

Ways to work together

Pick your starting point

The Part

from $90

You know what you need — a bracket, a knob, a housing, a replacement for the unobtainable. I design and print it to fit.

The Build

from $250

A fuzzy idea becomes a finished object: discovery sketch, CAD you approve, print, finish, function check.

The Works

from $500

Design + electronics + install. LEDs, sensors, motors, microcontrollers — wired, programmed, mounted in place and working.

Quotes are fixed before any work starts: labor at $75/hr (estimated up front), materials, electronics, and delivery itemized. "From" prices are honest floors, not bait.

Proof

On the bench

Every job gets photographed start to finish. This portfolio grows one real build at a time.

First builds are underway. Finished photos — sketch, CAD, print, install — land here as soon as the first job ships. Want to be the first one on the wall? The form below is open.

Tell me what you want made

The only form on this page, and the only step you need to take.

Please add your name so I know who I'm replying to.

Whichever you actually check.

I need an email or phone number to send your quote.

Tell me a little about what you want made.

A picture of the broken part or the spot it goes is worth a paragraph.

I reply within 2 business days — a real reply from the person who'll build it, not an autoresponder. Your info is used only to reply about this request.
