Students & Designers
Turn class projects, portfolio pieces, and capstone concepts into physical prototypes.
Atlanta
You design it.
We help you build it.
Product design, rapid prototyping, and custom fabrication for students, makers, and early-stage hardware teams.
From idea to physical product.
Andbru helps students, makers, and early-stage hardware teams turn ideas into real products without the cost, complexity, and minimums of traditional manufacturing.
A school shop asks you to learn the machine. A production shop is built for aerospace and established orders. We sit between them. Not the cheapest hour. Not a precision production house. A way to get the thing made.

Who we build for.
Makers & Enthusiasts
Need a part that doesn't exist? We'll help you design and build it.
Hardware Startups
Iterate faster without factory-sized minimums or overseas lead times.
What we do.
CNC and the printer are tools. What you are buying is help getting the object made.
- Product Design
- Industrial Design
- CAD
- Engineering Support
- CNC Machining
- 3D Printing
- Rapid Prototyping
- Custom Parts
- Small-batch Manufacturing
- Finishing & Assembly
One part is a real job.
Traditional shops are set up for production volume. We use CNC for prototypes, custom parts, and small batches — then review the design before anything is cut.

How it works.
01
Send us your idea
CAD, a sketch, a photo, or even an existing part.
02
We figure out how to build it
Design review, CAD, and manufacturing planning.
03
We make it
Prototype locally.
04
Test. Improve. Repeat.
Need another version? We modify and build again.
More than a machine shop.
Accessible
One piece, three, or five. A real prototype is a real project.
Fast
Days, not weeks. The point of a prototype is to learn from it quickly.
Engineering support
If a wall is too thin, a corner will not cut, or a hole should change, we will tell you.
Flexible
You can start from a sketch, a photo, an existing part, rough CAD, or only the idea.
Built by our own customers
The team comes from engineering, industrial design, hardware, automotive electronics, and embedded software. We started Andbru because we needed this.
What are you building?
Send a sketch, a CAD file, a photo, or the part you already have. We will help you figure out the next step.
