Hey I'm Steven

I’m the founder, operator, and (for now) the only guy behind Malachite Labs. I started this project because I wanted to share my passion for 3D printing. With a background in software engineering, 10+ years of 3D printing experience, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving, I wanted to create a place where I can share the products I've created and improve the accessibility to rapid manufacturing

How It All Started
Malachite Labs began as a side project—a personal challenge to see how far I could take my love of 3D printing. It started in my home workshop, where I found myself tinkering with materials and designs, bringing ideas to life layer by layer. What was once a hobby quickly turned into something bigger. Today, Malachite Labs serves both hobbyists and professionals, offering everything from pre-made 3D-printed products to a rapid manufacturing service for custom parts.

What We Do

• Pre-Made Products: I offer a selection of ready-to-go 3D-printed items that serve as standalone products. These include organizers, cosplay props, and decor.
• Rapid Manufacturing: For those who need something custom, We’ve got you covered. From prototyping to small-scale production runs, I offer flexible, on-demand 3D printing services for businesses, engineers, and anyone with a design they want to bring to life.

Why Choose Malachite Labs?
I get it—there are a lot of 3D printing services out there. But here’s what makes Malachite Labs different:

• A Personal Touch: Every design, every print, every order is handled by me. That means you’re not just another transaction; you're someone I want to help succeed. I work directly with my customers to make sure the final product is exactly what they envisioned.
• Built on Passion: I love what I do, and it shows in the work. Whether it’s a one-off project for a hobbyist or a full batch of parts for a business, I take pride in getting things right.
• Midwestern Values, Global Vision: Based in Ohio, we can ship quickly to any part of the contiguous United States. 

Let’s Talk
Whether you’re a hobbyist with a cool idea, an engineer needing precision parts, or a business looking for rapid, reliable manufacturing, I’d love to work with you. Don’t hesitate to reach out—no question is too small, and no project is too big (or too weird). Let’s see what we can create together.
