Custom design + fabrication

Custom work, built with you.

Bring the idea, the broken part, the sketch, the file, or the story. Aetherium helps turn uncertain starting points into clear, buildable projects.

No finished CAD required. A sketch, photograph, physical part, existing file, or plain-language description is enough to begin.

Choose the closest starting point

Four ways into the workshop.

You do not need to diagnose the manufacturing method. Pick the situation that feels closest, and we will help route the work.

01 / DEVELOP

I have an idea that needs development.

Concepts, mechanisms, enclosures, tools, fixtures, and early designs that need CAD, iteration, or fabrication.

02 / RECREATE

I have a broken, obsolete, or unavailable part.

Bring the original part, photographs, measurements, or existing files for scanning, modeling, repair-minded redesign, or reproduction.

04 / COMMISSION

I want to create something meaningful.

Jewelry, heirlooms, presentation pieces, awards, gifts, and story-driven objects for a person, brand, or occasion.

Prototype & Part Manufacturing

Send us the weird part.

One part. Ten parts. The part nobody makes anymore. Explore the technical path for prototypes, obsolete replacements, fixtures, customer-supplied CAD, and low-volume requirements.

How a build slot works

Each service listing begins with a refundable build-slot deposit. It reserves capacity for initial review and planning, then is credited in full toward the approved project. Before work begins, you receive a written scope with deliverables, total project cost, and expected schedule.
