03 / MAKE SOMETHING · MAKING & PRINTING

YOU CAN
PICTURE IT.
LET’S MAKE
IT REAL.

The part you wish existed. The prototype you want to test. The signs your event needs. Bring what you have—we’ll help work out what comes next.

A SKETCH. A PART. A POSSIBILITY.

FROM AN IDEA TO SOMETHING USEFUL.

GIVE YOUR
WHAT IF A SHAPE.

Before choosing a machine, we ask what the thing needs to do. Explore a simple example of a custom bracket taking shape.

MADE TO FITFITEXAMPLE ONLY / CUSTOM BRACKET

Start with dimensions, loads, material, quantity and the place the part needs to fit. A sketch or broken sample can help explain the problem.

THREE WAYS TO BEGIN.

What would help
you move forward?

01

Design & prototype

Work from a sketch, file, sample or conversation. We can help develop the model, choose a sensible first version and make a prototype you can test.

A POSSIBLE START

A broken mounting bracket becomes a measured model and a test part, ready to check for fit.

Explore the possibilities +
  • Design from a sketch or idea — Work out dimensions, materials and what the object needs to do.
  • 3D modeling — Prepare a digital model for a physical object.
  • Prototypes and test models — Make an early version to try and refine.
02

Make, build & tinker

Custom parts, useful objects, robotics projects and supplies for your own ideas. The process might use 3D printing, cutting, machining or a specialist production partner.

A POSSIBLE START

A custom enclosure for a small electronics project, with the openings, mounting points and finish it needs.

Explore the possibilities +
  • Custom and replacement parts — Assess a broken part or a specific need and possible production methods.
  • Brackets, fixtures and enclosures — Make practical parts for holding, protecting or supporting things.
  • Panels, signs and displays — Produce useful objects and display pieces.
  • Filament 3D printing — Build suitable objects layer by layer from filament.
  • Resin 3D printing — Produce suitable detailed parts, with washing and curing.
  • Fiber laser cutting — Cut suitable metal parts, brackets, panels and signs.
  • CO₂ laser cutting — Cut appropriate materials such as wood and acrylic.
  • Waterjet cutting — Cut suitable materials using an abrasive waterjet.
  • CNC routing — Shape wood, plastics and composite panels.
  • CNC milling — Machine three-dimensional parts from solid stock.
  • Sheet-metal bending — Form sheet parts with a press brake.
  • Parts finishing and assembly — Deburr, tap, countersink, insert hardware and assemble.
  • Robotics and electronics projects — Bring tools and appropriate specialist expertise to practical projects.
  • Maker supplies — Sell robotics components, modeling parts and useful supplies.
03

Print & signs

Flyers, menus, business cards, posters, banners and signs—designed and produced around their job, with finishing and larger-format work arranged as needed.

A POSSIBLE START

One event, with the right mix of small handouts, a clear entrance sign and posters people can actually read.

Explore the possibilities +
  • Everyday business printing — Flyers, brochures, business cards, menus and booklets.
  • Large-format printing — Posters, banners, signs and displays.
  • Vinyl lettering and decals — Produce adhesive graphics for suitable applications.
  • Print finishing — Trim, fold, crease, bind, laminate and mount.

START WITH THE JOB, NOT THE MACHINE.

A workshop that
grows with the work.

Our production capability is being developed in stages. Compact printing and selected 3D work can come before a full fabrication shop. Larger or specialist orders may be produced through an outside specialist.

We confirm the method, materials, tolerances, quantity, price and timing before accepting a job. Not every listed process is available in-house today.

Need help with the design too? ↗

BEFORE WE BEGIN.

BRING WHAT
YOU HAVE.

Do I need a finished design file?+

No. A drawing, photo, sample or explanation may be enough to begin a design conversation. We will identify what still needs to be measured or designed.

Can you repair anything?+

Bring us the problem and we can assess it. A replacement part or a new approach may help, but Tink Town is not offering a blanket appliance or electronics repair service.

Do you own all the machines listed?+

No. The wider equipment range is a direction for growth. Each project needs a confirmed production route and the relevant expertise before we commit.

LET’S FIND YOUR NEXT STEP.

WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN IMAGINING?

Bring a sketch, a broken part, or a simple description of what you need.
