Design. Make. Realise.
I'm David; and Threadbuilt is my design and making studio, started in Adelaide, Australia, in 2018.
For as long as I can remember I've been the curious type, always taking something apart or designing something new. These days that's called the maker spirit. I've been described as a bit of a dreamer (night and day), and Threadbuilt is where those ideas go: improving everyday objects, inventing playful new ones, and adding a little intrigue and whimsy wherever I can.
Design it
Most of what I make starts with a pattern: Voronoi cells, low-poly facets, the lattices of kumiko and Islamic geometry. These are patterns found in nature, and crafts that have honoured them for centuries. Everything begins as a digital design in Fusion 360.
Make it
In the workshop I use a Prusa MK3S 3D printer, a Shapeoko Pro XXL CNC router and a Creality Falcon 2 laser cutter for prototypes, one-offs and custom pieces. Some products are made to order by print-on-demand partners and shipped direct to you.
Realise it
The best part is seeing a design find its place in someone else's home. Many designs are also available as digital files (STL, 3MF, DXF, SVG), so you can make them with your own tools.
Custom Work
I take on custom design and prototyping projects, from personalised pieces to designs prepared for production. If you have an idea, get in touch.
