Surface
9 assetsFinish & Coating — Powder, Plate, Spray, Print, Seal
Powder coating, electroplating, foiling/gilding, wet spray, UV direct print, and clear coat. Multi-surface finishing for metal, polymer, wood, and glass.
> WORKFLOW
1.Submit — material, dimensions, desired finish, quantity, timeline. Photos help.
2.Prep — degrease, etch, phosphate wash, or media blast — depends on substrate.
3.Apply — powder coat, plate, spray, foil, or UV print.
4.Finish — cure, polish, seal, clear coat. Multi-process parts go in sequence.
5.QC — color match, adhesion check, visual inspection, photo documentation.

MACHINES ▸ OPERATIONAL
Tilswall Hornetoperational
Cordless HVLP Sprayer — 100K RPM, Dual Nozzle
Cordless HVLP sprayer for wet-finish coating. 100K RPM brushless motor with dual nozzles — one for broad surfaces, one for detail work. 450g ultra-light design reduces fatigue during batch runs. Rechargeable — no air line, no hose. For primer, paint, clear coat, and specialty finish application on manufactured parts.
ALORAIR Air Scrubberoperational
3-Stage — MERV-10 Pre-Filter + HEPA + Activated Carbon
ALORAIR 3-stage air scrubber — MERV-10 pre-filter catches coarse particulate, HEPA traps fine dust and aerosols, activated carbon scrubs VOCs and breaks down residual ozone. Stackable, heavy-duty, industrial-grade. Runs continuous during shop operations and shifts to full-speed for O₃ clearance after sterilization cycles. Negative air capable when ducted — critical for containment during hazmat or high-particulate jobs.
Enerzen O-555 O₃ Generatoroperational
Enerzen O-555 — 60,000mg/hr Industrial Ozone Generator / Air Purifier / Deodorizer
Ozone-based sterilization for component recovery and decontamination. Gas-phase O₃ penetrates where liquids can't — electronics-safe, no residue, no moisture. Decades of experience with O₃ — operator grew up with dental-grade ozone sterilization as standard practice.
Predator 3500 Generatoroperational
Predator 3500 — Inverter Generator
3500W inverter generator for backup power and mobile operations. Clean sine-wave output safe for sensitive electronics and CNC controllers. Wheels and handle make it deployable anywhere — shop backup, outdoor fabrication, remote job sites.
Shop PPE Kitoperational
Respiratory, Face, Hand & Body Protection — Shop-Wide
Shop-wide PPE kit. Respiratory: 3M 65021 P100/OV half-face respirators ×2 (P100 particulate + organic vapor cartridge, NIOSH-approved). Face: Blue Eagle full-face impact shield with 2 spare visors. Hands: LOCCEF MicroFoam nitrile work gloves ×12 pairs + disposable nitrile for resin. Body: 2 heavy-duty aprons for guest use — grab one when you walk in.
KeenCut Evo2operational
KeenCut Evo2 — 64" Precision Rotary Cutter
64" Keencut Evolution-E2 precision rotary cutter. Three-in-one: semi-rigid, flexible, and fabric materials. Two-way cutting head works left or right-handed. Full-length Lift & Hold for easy loading, flip-over stops clamp material horizontally. Swing-over design stows under the bench. Cuts paper, vinyl, banner, foam board, PVC, Sintra, acrylic, aluminum composite, corrugated plastic, and textiles. The missing link between sheet stock and the laser bed — any material that shouldn't see a laser beam gets trimmed here.
MACHINES ▸ INCOMING
SPESYN Tool 3incoming
Precision Handheld Drill/Tap/Drive
Drill-press precision in a handheld form factor. Complete drill, tap, and drive bit kit. Portable precision for large parts, field work, and on-site fabrication where a drill press isn't practical. Moves between the Forge and Lab as needed.
Aqua-6 Water O₃ Generatorincoming
Aqua-6 — 120 mg/hr Water Ozone Generator
Aqua-6 water ozone generator. Infuses cold water with dissolved O₃ for chemical-free parts degreasing, component cleaning, and surface preparation. Zero residue — ozone reverts to oxygen, leaving nothing behind but clean. Available on demand from operator's home lab.
Portable Smoke Extractorincoming
Portable Fume Extraction Unit
Point-source fume extraction on wheels. Position the intake arm directly at the work — welding, soldering, or any process producing smoke that the fixed extraction doesn't catch.
