Steve’s a great guy to work with. When I was brand new to the job, he helped me create a unique rail spur and spike project with engravings on tough steel material. I’ll be giving Steve a call whenever I have another challenging job.

I was looking for a shop with a laser cutter to help with a one-off job and Steve was super helpful getting it done!

Steve at Create Cut Invent in Lisle is fantastic to work with! His communication is excellent, and he always takes the time to explain his processes clearly. Steve goes above and beyond to help find the right solutions and makes the entire experience smooth and straightforward. It’s refreshing to work with someone so knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to collaborate with. Highly recommend!
He was able to make one off parts that were impossible to find. All I had to do was provide the original damaged parts and the correct material and he was able to replicate them to their exact specifications using a water jet.

Looking for custom fabrication? You have found the answer.
I needed sheets of acrylic laser cut for a project I'm working on and the owner, Steve, went above and beyond to help me realize my vision. He was easy to communicate with, gave helpful suggestions to improve my design, was incredibly knowledgeable about the materials I was working with, and performed the job even faster than I would have expected.
In just a few minutes of speaking with Steve, it's clear he is knowledgeable on a range of materials and techniques. And, most importantly that he gives serious care to each project -- no matter the size.
I will definitely be working with him again!

Steve absolutely saved our butts with a rush project! We had gears that needed to be cut for our fall play and the person who originally said they would get them done, did not meet our deadline. I frantically searched for a company that could do it and found Create Cut Invent! He knocked out all of the things we needed with a day to spare! I will absolutely be using his services again! (the gears are unfortunately poorly lit at the time in this photo so it does not do his work justice!)

What a hidden gem!!! I found Create Cut Invent from a quick Yelp search and I am so glad I did. I was in need of getting a last minute engraving done on a keychain. The owner, Steve, met me at his business and had the keychain done within an hour of my phone call to him. Steve was so genuine, helpful and provided top-notch customer service. He took time to talk to me about the history of his business and show me some of the incredibly unique work he does.
He will forever be my first go to for anything customized and innovative - for both personal and business purposes.
If supporting extremely talented local businesses is as important to you as it is me, walk, don't run - to check out all Steve has to offer - and at extremely reasonable prices.

We had a cast iron Halloween pumpkin decoration that my wife loved—but sadly, the main piece that gave it its character (the smiling mouth and nose) broke and sat unused last Halloween because I didn’t know how to fix it.
While pulling out decorations this year, I came across the broken pumpkin again and started looking online for a local welding company. I was shocked to see how expensive mobile welding services were—$75 just for a visit, which was more than half the cost of the original decoration.
Then I came across a glowing Google review about Create Cut Invent and their work on Christmas decorations. I called and spoke with Steve, who was incredibly accommodating. He happened to be available, and I was able to drop the decoration off. Not only was the repair done quickly—it was done perfectly. Our pumpkin is back in action!
I was so impressed that I called a friend to recommend them, and it turns out he had also reached out to Create Cut Invent for some larger holiday items. It’s clear they handle all kinds of projects—big or small—and based on my experience, no job is too small for them to treat it with care.
Highly recommend Steve at Create Cut Invent. Great work, great person.

I asked Create Cut Invent to cut custom bar mats for my family’s restaurant using his water jet setup and he absolutely delivered. Steve is a one-man team with decades of hands-on craftsmanship backed by serious technical know-how. The precision was incredible. Every edge aligned perfectly and fit like a glove. He worked fast, finished ahead of schedule, and it’s clear he takes real pride in his work. If you’re after top-tier custom cutting, fabrication, or precision water jet services, Steve’s your guy. I highly recommend Create Cut Invent for any commercial or custom project.

I had a winch plate welded onto my trailer and the quality of work was excellent. The welds are clean, the job was done quickly, and the pricing was fair. Highly recommend this business for any welding or fabrication needs.

CreateCutInvent (CCI) completed my project very easily. CCI understood my project and explained how I could obtain the steel needed. I had it shipped to CCI, and CCI cut the steel perfectly. All in 48 hours. I visited CCI only to pick up the completed work. I dealt directly with the owner and am sure one could meet with him if needed to discuss a complex project in advance. I appreciate how well and easily this worked.
