Factory eNova

Love this place! Great service and great equipment! This is helping me expand my business. without it, my options are limited. Oh yeah and Kelby is the best!

Wonderful service! They have a great team of people working here and will do what it takes to satisfy their customer needs. I’ve gotten several jobs done with them already and very pleased every time. The owner, Vinh is so helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We found out about this at the Maker Fair. My niece and I signed up for the introductory class. Won was our instructor and she was so nice. She is an excellent instructor and she is sooooo nce.
They make it really fun, easy and safe.

I’ve been a member here for a while and it has helped me to develop product lines in a way I never thought possible. The owners and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Types of materials you can use here range from acrylic, leather, wood etc. If you just want a to personalize a gift they have blank hip flasks and phone cases that you can add your design to. If you are a designer then prepare to have your mind blown, for me its like Christmas every time I try a new design. They just got a UV color printer too!

Had some prototype needed to work on, everyone was extremely helpful and always there when I have questions. Came here a few times already, will come again in the future.

This place is amazing, especially for a guy like me who has no art skills whatsoever and has never gone to a community workspace let alone even looked at a laser cutter/​engraver. I just so happened so see this cool DIY project someone did for a comic book cover which I instantly wanted to replicate but with one of my own favorite comics. When looking at the steps I saw the only way to accomplish this is by laser cutting. Luckily I lived near by and they had an introductory course which I promptly signed up for. From there on everything was easy and fun, the girl teaching the class was very thorough and helpful which helped alleviate my fears and answered any question I had politely. I was worried though once I came back in I would be all on my own as I’m not really the type of person who asks for help I just sort of work through trial and error, which would suck since I was paying by the hour. Fortunately the staff here is really helpful and attentive, I was having issues and the front desk girl (sorry I don’t know the staffs name yet but I will, but she was the white girl with semi-​dreads) noticed and came to help and was extremely helpful because I could’ve been stuck for a while on my own.
The laser equipment is extremely efficient and clean as well as the workspace. The environment is not cumbersome and well laid out with plenty of space. The reservation system is great so you can plan ahead and not have to worry about other people waiting or they studio getting packed.
I can’t wait to get back there I’m amazed at the things I’ve created with the limited experience I have. I’m definitely looking forward to the advanced laser cutting class. This is definitely my new favorite hobby.

I love this place. The staff are all nice n friendly and you can engrave just about anything. I personalized my business cardholder and it turn out great!

The first time I came here I received excellent service. I made my first stop in March in which I needed a black acrylic portfolio cover laser etched. A sweet girl at the desk helped me achieve the look I was going for. I prepped the files in the format she wanted and she told me she would have the portfolio etched and ready to pick up in a couple hours. She called me a few hours later saying my portfolio was done and ready for pick up. I was so happy with the service and price. Better yet, I found out that the owner was a graduate from Cal Poly Pomona, currently where I’ll be graduating from in a few weeks.
****Updated Review****
Today I had quite a frustrating experience, but the owner had resolved it surprisingly quickly. After being turned away without a reservation for a later time and expressing my concerns, the woman at the front desk was kind enough to complete my logo acrylic piece in a timely manner and didn’t charge me for the cost because of misunderstanding. The owner was extremely friendly and personally messaged me about my concerns. I feel that because of this, I may have been too hasty with my initial feedback. I’m willing to give this place another try, and I’m extremely pleased with the end results.
Thank you enova. You definitely have my business.

Factory eNova is an awesome community-​minded maker space that offers the use of laser cutters/​engravers and a 3D printer (and they’re working on getting additional machines as well).
That’s all well and good, but what earned Factory eNova 5 stars is its staff — everyone is genuinely nice & helpful and also really excited about whatever you’re making. Super welcoming to cosplayers & propmakers but also friendly to people who just want to laser cut some fancy wedding invitations.
I came as part of a (free!) Doctor Who themed event organized by one of the shop’s members, and guided by one experienced creator and a few staff members we made ~15 customized sonic screwdriver display stands in about an hour. It’s surprisingly easy to learn — if you have a very basic understanding of graphic design, you’re set. I’m coming back to make some props and laser etch some fabric, because laser etched fabric is about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

I was sooo happy with my final product. I had been looking for a place to engrave a watch case for my bf and every place I went to sent me away and said they couldn’t do it because the glass lid was bordered with leather. I found this place on Unilocal stopped by on a Sunday morning and right away Vin said it was doable. Erin set everything up in 30 minutes and it was engraved in seconds. It came out better than I expected. Everything was perfect and centered and she coated the engraving with a buffer that made it look even better! It was a great price. Best price I had found. I’ll definitely be doing more business with them

This place is amazing! Everyone I’ve met so far that works here (Vinh, Dannie, and Seth) are extremely friendly and helpful. I felt very welcomed when I walked in. I was greeted with a handshake by everyone.
The place is very clean and spacious. The members are very talented and are passionate about their work. The members and the employees are very helpful. It’s fun to bounce ideas off one another. The artwork displayed are beautiful.
This is a great place to make engravings or laser cut designs on items for your business. You could also laser cut your business cards. This is a great place to make gifts, too!

This is the place to go if you have any ideas to create things out of lazers (engraving). I made a mocking jay emblem in abou 3 minutes from some great wood. I can see the limitless potential of this place, I can see engineers using this for amazing projects, diy individuals looking for their own personalized touch for the wedding, crafty people who… love to craft. Anyone with an imagination. The prices are really reasonable as well.
The holiday season is coming up why not come to this place and truly make something unique and special. The walk through takes 5 minutes and if I can do it, seriously anyone can.

My mind has been blown. Excuse me if this review doesn’t really make sense; I’m still trying to wrap my head around the amazingness that is Factory Enova. Since leaving last night with my very first laser-​etched item, all I’ve been able to think about was what other objects I could get etched, engraved, or as I like to call it even though it’s not technically a word, «lasered». I mean, Christmas is just around the corner (sorry, Thanksgiving, I know you’re first). Imagine all of the super-​personalized gifts you could create and the looks of «Oh my goodness, how did you do this?!» you would receive.
I know the idea of laser– and 3D-​printing is pretty scary to most people. Heck, I still don’t know whether to call it «printing» or «engraving» or what. Let me address a few concerns:
1. You neither have to be a tech whiz nor an artist to be able to create something awesome. I did one of the easiest things possible — etch a photo onto a 4×6 piece of wood — and it ended up looking like a piece of art. I then lasered a hole in the corner and — bam! — it became a Christmas ornament. (Okay, I’ll have to loop a string through that hole, but still… bam!)
2. If you’d like a tutorial, you can sign up for one of their various workshops — etching on wine glasses, making wooden bracelets, whatever. I haven’t attended one yet, but it sounds like it’d be a fun group activity. They’ll even feed you.
3. You don’t have to commit to a monthly membership right away. You can either attend a workshop (see #2) or pay by the hour.
4. If you’re not into DIY but still want something personalized, Factory Enova offers laser cutting and engraving services. Just let them do it for you.
«Lasering» (I’m determined to make this a word) is one of those things you’ll have to experience for yourself to truly understand, and Factory Enova is a great place to get started. The people are so friendly, helpful, and patient — they won’t make you feel like an idiot for not knowing what you’re doing, so don’t let fear and intimidation stop you from going in and making your own little work of art.

This place is fantastic! I look forward to spending a lot of time here, creating things.

Place is pretty awesome. If your a creative person and crafty then this is the place for you.

This is where I go to engrave and customize all of my marketing and branding items for my business. The team is extremely helpful as I am not computer savvy. They taught and reteach me — and now I can create so many things on my own. I started engraving photos of my friends and clients on wooden canvas as gifts. Every that received these as gifts absolutely love them. Couldn’t be happier with my membership here.

I love this place! I came here 3 times so far and every time I had a good experience. The staff is friendly and the environment is truly inspiring. I would recommend this place with full confidence to anyone. I can honestly say that I can’t wait for a reason to give someone a gift just so I can come here again!

I attended a class friday evening on etching wine glasses. It was a lot of fun! We got to choose what we wanted etched. They went through the whole process step by step. My friends and I enjoyed refreshments and snacks and we even played a trivia game! (Which I won! — and got to receive a free etched gift!) This is the perfect place to make some personalized gifts for family or for a wedding.

All I have to say is this place is awesome and very original! You can design anything you want on pretty much what ever you want! Whether you’re a business owner looking marketing material, an average joe wanting to make unique one of a kind gifts or just some cool customized stuff for yourself this is the place for you.
