Indianapolis design & fabrication studio

You bring the idea. We help make it real.

Whether you want a gift engraved, a file printed, a sketch turned into a real design, or a product taken to market, Workshop Eight meets you where your project is. We do our design, engineering and prototyping in-⁠house: never outsourced, never ⁠AI-⁠generated.

How We Work

From first idea to finished piece

01
Start where you are
A file ready to make, an idea you've sketched or a product in development. Where you're starting tells us what kind of help will serve you best.
02
The right level of help
Ready-to-make jobs are quoted from your details alone. Design and engineering projects start with a short consultation, so the estimate fits what you actually need. Either way, finding out what it will cost is free.
03
Designed and made
We model, prototype and refine with you where design is needed, then print, cut and finish your piece in our own shop.
04
Delivery and support
You get the finished piece, and we're here if you need changes, another run or help with the next stage.

Make

Got a design ready to build?

Want names engraved on a gift, a 3D file printed or a simple part copied? We 3D print, laser cut and engrave in our own shop, from a single keepsake to a small batch. Quotes are free, and no meeting is ⁠needed.

Design

Have an idea but nothing modeled yet?

Bring a sketch, a photo or just a description. We turn it into a design that can actually be made, prototype it so you can hold it, and refine it with you until it's right.

Every product starts as a real design decision

Product Engineering

Working through a complex build, or getting ready to bring a product to market?

Whether it's a technically demanding build or a product headed for market, we start with a conversation, then work alongside you as an ongoing engineering partner, refining the design, materials and manufacturing details as your product develops.

Let's start with an introductory conversation
