Design8Studio has a robust suite of maker tools including CNC plasma cutting, CNC router cutting, CNC laser cutting, and woodworking tools

Whatever you need custom designed/made, the Design8Studio workshop can most likely handle it.

The latest maker tool addition at Design8Studio is a CNC plasma table (see image below), capable of cutting steel sheet / steel plate more than a 1/2″ thick, and sizes as large as 2′ x 4′ with no tiling or re-registration needed, and as large as 4′ x 8′ if tiling/registration is utilized.

The custom designed wall art shown below measures 22 1/2″ in diameter, and is cut from 18 gauge steel. It’s currently on display proudly in the office of the Fire Chief of Bridgeport, WV.

The custom designed lifetime achievement award shown below involved use of both woodworking (for the cedar wood frame), color printing, laser engraving, and electrical/wiring for the internal LED illumination.

For BIQU B1 – ILLUSTRATED TUTORIAL / ASSEMBLY GUIDE for DIY IKEA Lack Enclosure (V2)

My v1 DIY enclosure has been wildly popular, and now the new V2 DIY enclosure boasts awesome improvements over the V1, increasing rigidity and stability while maintaining usability, clean lines, printing times greatly reduced compared to Prusa’s V2 enclosure, and easily sourced parts. Assembly is easier than ever thanks to this ILLUSTRATED TUTORIAL / ASSEMBLY GUIDE.

It took many, many hours of work to prototype, test, and perfect the design, and still more hours to produce this illustrated, easy-to-follow assembly guide. Above is a screen shot showing actual pages with illustrations from the assembly guide. The parts download is still free on Thingiverse.com, and at only $2.99 for this illustrated assembly guide, you’re getting a great deal, while basically buying me a cookie in thanks for having served your needs. I trust this is a benefit to you. -Doug Joseph of Design8Studio

Portfolio Additions: More Church Renders

Latest in Design8Studio portfolio: 3D visualization – renders for church addition construction project – prepared for a church client:

“Archviz” is short for architectural visualization. You may think your project cannot afford it, but actually not only is it affordable, it will also save money in the long run, because without it very likely a lot of money and resources will be wasted.

This video showcases a drone-style exterior 3D “fly-over” of the proposed new addition and the proposed pavilion enhancement, as well as a 3D “walk-through” tour of the interior of the new addition.
