We can custom cut and laser etch all sorts of parts for many different types of hobbies, like after-market accurizing parts for plastic model kits,
structural parts for R/C airplanes, scenery for train dioramas--any kind of part you might need.

Here's one example~

For the customized starships that Matt is currently building, he designed these window inserts. They worked so well that we are now
planning to offer them as kits.

Here's an excerpt from Matt's blog detailing how this kit was conceived:

"Today’s topic is going to be……Windows!, or portholes, or small transparent orifices.  Whichever terminology you prefer to use, they’re still a pain in the rear with this kit.  I’ve never really cared for the included clear inserts.  In fact, I hate them.  Some fit ok.  Some stick out too far.  Some don’t protrude far enough.  Others have gaps around them that have to be filled.  They can look ok with some work, and I used them on my own build, as well as on build #1.
But, I wanted to try something different here.
The standard way of dealing with this problem is to throw the kit parts in the trash fill the holes with clear resin, or epoxy.  I’ve done this, and it works well for the most part.  However, it’s kind of messy and often times you have to wait overnight, or longer, for the resin to cure completely before you can sand it.   Then, there are those times when for some reason or another it doesn’t cure completely, and stays sticky forever (I really hate it when that happens).  My solution to the window problem for this build is to make new inserts from Plexiglas that actually fit into the holes.  How do I accomplish this?
Why, with the laser of course!"

"Each piece is inserted into a matching hole and glued with Tenax. Now they’re all sanded down flush with the surface of the hull, then polished with Micro-mesh products until crystal clear. All the sanding and polishing can get rather tedious, but I think the results are well worth it.  Plus, they won’t turn yellow, shrink, or be sticky.  I’ll be doing the same thing, only on a larger scale for the arboretum windows, and hopefully, the VIP lounge windows as well.  Now comes the fun of filling all the portholes on the saucer rim!"

There are so many different ways the laser can be put to work for hobbyists that we couldn't possibly show them all. Here are just a few more examples~
