Creasum for individual makers
The workshop
behind your
workshop.
Creasum gives independent makers the machines, materials and manufacturing muscle that don't fit in a spare room — and a storefront that turns what you make into income.

You keep the design, the customer and the margin.
We take the nine days.
Why this exists
One person can own a machine.
One person can’t own a supply chain.
Every maker hits the same two walls: the order you can't physically fill, and the shop you don't have time to run. Creasum is a manufacturer. We already own both of those things. This section opens them to people working alone.
We make what you can’t
Forty-one machines you can book by the hour: printers that run while you sleep, a laser that eats 18 mm walnut, a CNC for the jig you keep meaning to build. Plus the hour-per-unit finishing work that quietly eats every maker’s margin.
- Print overflow on a managed farm
- Materials your desktop machine can't cut
- Mesh repair and nesting before you waste a sheet
- Smoothing, inserts, paint, assembly, kitting
We sell what you make
A storefront with photography, payments, tax, packing, shipping to 38 countries, and a human answering the complaints. You keep up to 85%, keep your design rights, and keep selling anywhere else you already do.
- 85% to you on digital files
- 70% on consigned physical work
- Or we fund the production run and pay a royalty
- Photography, listing copy and support included
Services
Book the machine, not the factory
Priced per job, quoted before we start, no retainer and no minimum relationship. Use one service once, or hand us the whole production chain.

Thick acrylic, hardwood, anodised aluminium, stainless. Fiber marking, rotary work and 3-axis routing on call.

$14 / spool - 05
Small-Batch Production
When a design takes off, we take it from the bench to a real production run — tooling advice, QC, and a unit cost that survives retail.
Free costing review - 06
Finishing & Assembly
Vapour smoothing, dyeing, tumbling, painting, threaded inserts, assembly and kitting — the work that doesn't scale with you.

Selling with us
Four steps, and none of them is a pitch deck
There is no application fee, no portfolio review for the entry tier, and no obligation after the costing call. If the honest answer is that you should keep printing it yourself, that's what we'll tell you.
- 01
Show us the work
A few photos and a sentence about what it is. No portfolio, no deck, no business plan. If it's good and you made it, that's the bar.
- 02
We cost it honestly
What it costs to make, what it should retail at, and whether it's worth producing at volume. Sometimes the honest answer is no — we'll say so.
- 03
Pick your lane
Sell the file, consign finished stock, or let us manufacture it and pay you a royalty. You can run different products in different lanes.
- 04
We handle the boring half
Photography, listing, payments, tax, packing, shipping, customs, returns, support. You go back to the part you actually like.
85%
goes to you
STL, 3MF, SVG, DXF, project files
70%
goes to you
You make it. We store, sell and ship it.
