About the studio — Raleigh, NC
A precision fabrication studio,
not a print shop.
Craft Onyx is not an agency that outsources your job to a factory you’ll never see. It’s a studio with machines running in it — a Bambu Lab 3D-printer farm, a flatbed UV printer, CNC routing, and a fiber laser — designing and manufacturing domestically while collaborating with clients worldwide.
- ✓ Functional prototypes in 72 hours
- ✓ No minimums — quantity 1 is fine
- ✓ Human quote reply within 1 business day
- ✓ Local Raleigh pickup or tracked shipping nationwide
The founder
Built and run
by a maker.
Anderson Martin founded Craft Onyx in Raleigh and still runs every machine in it. He’s the person who reads your email, quotes your job, picks the material, and checks the first part off the printer before anything ships.
That’s a deliberate choice. When the same person handles design and production, problems get caught at the CAD stage instead of after a wasted run — and a question about your job gets answered by someone who has actually held it.
Everything is designed and manufactured domestically. Clients come from across the Triangle — Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville — and from anywhere a tracked package can reach.
The floor
What’s on the floor.
Four core capabilities under one roof, so multi-process jobs — print it, finish it, brand it — don’t bounce between vendors.
Bambu Lab 3D-printer farm
Multiple printers running in parallel, so a one-off concept model and a short production run get the same turnaround. Quantity 1 is fine.
Flatbed UV printer
Full-color graphics printed directly onto wood, acrylic, metal, and 3D-printed parts — no decals, no peeling labels.
CNC routing
Sheet goods cut clean and repeatable: plywood, MDF, acrylic, and more, from single templates to batched panels.
Fiber laser
Marking and engraving on aluminum, stainless, and coated metals, plus thin-sheet cutting — tags, plates, panels, serialization.
Inside the studio
Machines that
never sleep.
This is the room your project gets built in. The print farm runs in parallel so a single prototype and a pilot run share the same turnaround, while the laser, CNC, and UV printer handle cutting, machining, and full-color finishing a few steps away.
No hand-offs between vendors, no freight between steps — which is how a fixed quote and a quoted date stay honest.
Case study
Scale-model beehives for Schneider Electric.
Schneider Electric keeps beehives at its Raleigh campus as part of its “Life Is On” sustainability program — and wanted desktop-scale versions of them to carry that message indoors.
Craft Onyx designed and 3D printed branded scale-model beehives with a removable roof and a matching stand, then finished each one with Schneider Electric’s bee and “Life Is On” graphics. The models now sit around the campus doing what good fabrication should: making a brand idea physical.
How we work
Six commitments.
Every job.
They hold whether it’s one keychain or a production run.
Concept to production, fast
One studio takes you from sketch to prototype to short-run production. The Prototype Sprint puts a functional prototype in your hands in 72 hours.
Clear communication
A human reads your request and replies with real pricing within one business day. No ticket queues, no bots.
Thoughtful material selection
Tell us what the part has to do and we recommend the material — filament, sheet, or metal. That judgment is the job.
Reliable timelines
We take limited build slots each month, quote a date, and hit it. If something changes, you hear it from us first — not from a tracking page.
One proof revision, always included
Every job gets a digital proof before production, and one round of revisions is built into the price. No surprise fees.
No minimums
Industrial shops won’t touch small jobs. We will. One piece gets the same attention as one hundred.
Send it to the person who will actually build it.
A sketch, a CAD file, or just a description. Anderson reads every request and replies with a digital proof and real pricing within one business day.
