CUSTOM FABRICATION

We have worked with some of the best creative studios, TV production crews, and designers on many fabrication projects. NVS Visuals can build great stuff for anyone and everyone, making your next event or production set exactly the way you visualize it. If you are still in the conceptualization phase, we’ll gladly help you brainstorm the best options for your specific creative vision.

Why NVS Visuals?

We are a team composed of artists, designers, creators, and craftsmen. There is truly no fabrication project that would be too crazy for us to produce. We’re based in New York City, but have worked on projects nationwide. Whatever your idea is, we say bring it on.

WOODWORKING & CARPENTRY + -

Our CNC and Milling capability, connived with woodworking and carpentry allowed us to take on small and large prop projects, from small custom object prototypes to larger complex staging buildouts. We can help with prototyping, designing and fabricating object made out of all different woods and rigid materials. Our woodworking craft can be seen as an example in the custom vehicle fabrication.

FOAM PROPS, CUTTING AND CARVING + -

Foam props are often the best fabrication solution for large life-size elements for an event, stage or movie set. They are light, east to transport and reusable. At NVS we carve and cut styrofoam objects with our hot wire CNC machine, as well as CNCs and can finish any project first hand carving.

3D Printing + -

At NVS our 3D printing can handle large scale props as well as detailed 3d printed objects. Our printers can handle up-most detail, and replicate fine textures. We are also able to 3d print with flex media, tough substrates as well as resins capable of withstanding high temperatures or ones able to transmit electric current.

Laser Cutting + -

When your cuts are too fine for a CNC, or if your plexi projects needs a tue polished edge – laser cutting is the preferred and recommended method of cutting. Our laser is an oversized bed (10′ x 5′) allowing us to take on large, but very detailed fabrication projects. From custom event walls, to acrylic pedestals – our laser is at your service.

CNC & Milling + -

You can’t mention fabrication without CNC. Our CNC capability offers complex 5-axis routing, as well as mor traditional milling. Depending on your project, we will suggest the correct approach. Often our projects are combined among different CNC machines. We can assist in creation of files, design ,prototyping as well as finishing your CNC projects like priming, painting and coating.

Temporary walls and flats + -

There is many ways how we can assist in creating your event, or theatrical environment. Scenic flats, or theatrical walls are a great solution in creating spaces. We custom made event walls, assemble and install visuals on them. Wether your project includes multiple rooms, full set buildouts or a single wall – we can help you build your environment with temporary walls and custom visuals.

Scenic Props + -

Foam, wood cut, CNCs, laser cut or 3d printed – we can build your prop. From a small detailed jewelry replica, to an overside product model, we can help from the inception, to the actual delivery and installation.

MOLDING & CASTING + -

Resin casting and custom molding is one of our services in the fabrication department. IF you’re looking to create several, a hundred or a thousand + objects, we can assist in staring with the prototype, creating a 3d printed object which later can be molded and casted to deliver a large quantity on a near-impossible timeline.

FINISHING + -

Painting, sanding, priming or coating your prop is part of our fishing services. We can color match to your specific Pantone, or an existing sample. Finishing processes will depend on the object a final desired level.

Custom build-outs and bespoke props should be the center of your event.

Vehicle and mobile pop-up fabrication

Fabrication is just more fun when done on wheels! We’re experts at creating experiential mobile activations, and this comes with lots of fabrication specifically designed for a space inside a vehicle. We have converted vans into stylist boutiques, custom offices, food trucks into vending stations, galleries and recently a school bus into a mobile programming unit.

From electric runs, LED lights, video walls, needed TVs, custom cabinetry, props and more – We can help you and your team with drafting the vision for a custom vehicle fabrication, furnish it inside and create all of the visuals on the outside. Basically, if you would like to create a mobile activations which requires custom vehicle buildout, or take a mobile pop-up on a notion-wide tour, we’re here to bring your project to life.

Custom Set Fabrication

Custom fabricating sets might be one of our favorites. We can do TV and production sets with quick set-up and easy disassembly or something more permanent. Above all, we begin every set build with careful planning and testing. Once we have a full understanding of your project’s three-dimensional nature then the fabrication can begin.

We have worked with many TV networks and convention centers on fabricating walls that have transformed spaces for various events. See more of our set-specific builds here.

CNC & Laser Cutting

If you need molding for custom props or fine art applications, we have you covered! We can make things out of all types of material, from rubber and foam to bronze and stone. Our clients come not only from TV and movie production backgrounds, but we have also worked with artists, jewelry makers, and architects. With expert sculpting capability, our modeling department can help you build any prop, mask, or sculpture.

Props: Foam and 3d Printing

We approach prop building from a multi-faceted perspective, combining all of our experience and different techniques. If you’re looking to create an oversized product, we could either 3D print it or CNC cut it. Depending on the best application for the use and other aspects of the project needs. Often a project needs to be built with a combination of all fabrication elements like CNC, laser cutting, 3d printing and woodworking.

How to get started

With our capability to cover the design, printing, CNC, and installation your next fabrication project, you can have a stress and worry free experience with amazing results

Concept Design + -

Let’s start the project by talking about the design. IF you have a concept, we can transform that into executable files – or if you need help with conceptualizing your idea – we can help as well.

Prototyping + -

Once we have our plan, we can start the process of prototyping and testing. Our fabrication capabilities allow us for approaching your project in several different ways. We first test to give you the best suitable solution.

Production + -

Once the sample is approved, we can proceed with production. Please ask us what is the production timing for your particular project. Since all we do is custom build-outs the timeline varies per project basis.

Installation & Mounting + -

If your projects needs installation and mounting, we can do that too. We have a fleet of vehicles and technicians who can deliver and assemble it on set.

FABRICATION MATERIALS

Fabrication of custom objects, props, and signage calls for a variety of different materials. Just like with our printing, we cover all of the standard fabrication substrates and are always open to adding new material options.

Acrylic

We stock plexiglass sheets at different thicknesses from 1/8`` to 1``, and colors.

Wood

Sustainable, and great CNC material. From plywood to hardwood.

Foam

Compressed foam is light, and routs at a high detail. from 1/4`` do 1`` thick.

MDF

Less expensive than wood, rigid and one of most popular CNC materials.

Aluminum

We can rout DiBond and aluminum. This metals come in different colors and finishes.

PVC

PVC comes in many colors and thicknesses from 1/8`` to 1``

" NVS came into the project late, since we had another vendor produce all of the CNC and flatbed work - to just find out that all was done wrong! Magda and her team color corrected, fixed measurements and saved our event. Thank you guys!"

"Great service. Wrapped a car and they stood by their work. They truly know what it means to be customer oriented and customer focused. They went above and beyond to make sure the project was done the right way even when we ran into issues few months down the line. This is a high class place. Would recommend 1000x over."
