Inventables sells equipment and supplies


to make beautiful products.
From Our CEO
Welcome to the revolution.
A third industrial revolution is underway. Manufacturing is going digital. Desktop
manufacturing is changing the way products are designed, prototyped and made.
In 2002, I founded Inventables to inspire design and innovation. We started by
building material libraries for large corporations. Over the last 10 years, weve watched
manufacturing tools like 3D printers, laser cutters and milling machines go from factories
and Fortune 500 R&D labs, to desktops around the world. You no longer need to own
a large company to take an idea and make it a realitysomething you can hold, or
even sell if youd like. We saw people around the world making inspiring products and
beautiful objects without the backing of a huge brand. In response, we launched an
online hardware store for designerspeople like you.
Although we are adding new products to the store each week, we created this catalog to
give you a quick overview of the eight categories we carry and to celebrate the work of
some of our customers by showcasing products they have designed using materials and
machines from Inventables.

Regards,

Zach Kaplan
This watch was designed by Inventables customer Daniel Schemel of
Mistura Watches. The watch dial is made from Zebrawood, the strap is
genuine leather, the chassis is CNC milled from PUI wood with mineral
glass and the back is stainless steel. mistura.com

The juicer shown here is part of Project RE by Samuel Bernier.


He is studying do-it-yourself communities and the capacity of their
members to locally reproduce objects designed in other countries.
The 3D printed juicer is designed to screw on a used glass jar.
To be food safe, 3D printed plastics must be sealed with epoxy to
prevent bacterial growth in the cracks.

Acrylic is a plastic material that looks similar to glass, but is less brittle and provides better insulation.
This acrylic sheet comes in both extruded, or continuous cast acrylic, as well as cast acrylic. Extruded
acrylic is less expensive, softer and can scratch easier than cast acrylic. This material is ideal for laser
cutters and engraving.

Anodizing is a process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxidized layer on the surface of metal
parts. It increases corrosion and wear resistance and during the process the anodized aluminum surface

Our Natural Cork Fabrics are a cork leather material made with different natural cork patterns bonded to a
non-woven textile backing. Though it feels like suede, it is naturally water resistant, inert, light weight and
impermeable to liquids and gases. It is a vibration damper, is resistant to wear and temperature changes
and can be sewn or glued to other materials and surfaces.

Natural Cork Sheet, available in 1/16 in and 1/4 in thicknesses, is a high-grade cork harvested in Europe
that can be used to manufacture products like coasters and bulletin boards and as lining for cabinets
and drawers. The thinner form of this particular version makes it ideal for craft, hobby and other DIY
applications. The bubble-form structure of cork also makes it a suitable candidate for acoustic and thermal
insulation in house walls, floors, ceilings and facades.

HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene. We


offer both natural and black HDPE sheets in the
shapes and sizes perfect for CNC Milling on the
Shapeoko. It is a good material for manufacturing
a part from because it is stronger than standard
polyethylene and acts as an effective barrier
against moisture. The material is easily recycled.

Our Dichroric Glasses are coated with ultra-thin metal-oxide, which is applied in layers, giving this glass
a shifting color effect. This coating is scratch and chemical resistant. Colors can vary depending on
reflections, light conditions, viewing angle and background. It can be processed like ordinary window or
float glass.

Highly Reflective Transparent Glass is a version of the Transparent Mirror Glass, but made using an
optical interference coated, low iron glass to achieve higher clarity and a slightly higher reflectance. Similar
to transparent mirror glass, it looks like a transparent pane of glass when placed in front of a lit background

Transparent Mirror Glass is a mineral glass that has been coated on both sides with an optical interference
coating, which enables a degree of both reflection and transparency in the material. When placed in front
of a lit background, it looks like a transparent pane of glass, whereas in front of a dark surface it reflects a
silvery color, much like a mirror.

MDF (medium-density fibreboard) is an engineered wood product. Made up of separated fibres, it is denser
than plywood, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and
more dense than normal particle board and provides a great, millable foundation that can be finished with the
adhesive veneers, above.

The MakerSlide rail, part #25142, is an aluminum extrusion with two special V rails for wheels to roll on.
This component is interesting for people designing CNC machines because it acts as the structural support
and the linear bearing system. Above is a diagram showing how the standard plate #25200 can be used
with the other components to make a slider carriage that rolls on the MakerSlide rail. Custom plates can
also be designed. Inventables uses this system on its Shapeoko CNC Milling machine.

These non-toxic, powdered mica pigments can be used in


both interior and exterior applications. They can be mixed
into any viscous medium including Inventables Hand
Moldable Plastic when it is in molten form. Using a tool
like the mortar from a mortar and pestle, the pigment is
pushed into the plastic over and over until the color is

This hand moldable plastic has


a melting temperature of about
136140F (5860C). It is great
