An engineer running a fabrication shop, on purpose.
Foxgrain Fabrication exists because too many parts get built without engineering judgment. We close that gap: real CNC, laser, and additive capacity guided by 30+ years of designing things that actually have to work.

Foxgrain started where every real product starts: with a problem nobody else wanted to solve. Good ideas kept dying at the fabrication step — wrong material, wrong joint, wrong tolerance.
So we built the shop we wished existed: CNC routing for the structure, laser cutting for the detail, 3D printing for the pieces that don't make sense to machine — and an engineer in front of every job.

How we work
A short, opinionated list of how we run jobs.
Function before finish.
The part has to work. Beauty is what happens once function is locked in.
Honest scoping.
If your idea is going to be expensive, we'll tell you why, and how to make it cheaper.
Engineered iteration.
Each revision should answer a real question. We don't iterate just to look busy.
Single point of contact.
You talk to the person actually running the job. No handoffs, no broken telephone.
A working history
Engineering foundation
Three decades of professional engineering. Designing, building, and shipping real-world products.
Shop established
Foxgrain set up with CNC, laser, and additive workflows in one shop.
Prototype + production
Working with startups, inventors, and OEMs to take ideas from concept to finished part.
