Working with Create Cut Invent has meant a lot to our team. Steve is one of the kindest and most…read moregenuine people we have met. You can tell he truly cares about what he does and about helping students learn about fabricating custom parts.. He has helped us with so many custom parts, from metal side plates and back plates to protective polycarbonate plates. He also did something really special for us that not many teams get the opportunity to do, which is custom machining our own gears. Our robot needed a specific size gears in order to create the perfect RPM for the motor. We were unable to find any available parts online and had to make our own. Steve was extremely helpful and the quality turned out amazing! When we were getting ready for the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship, we were under a ton of pressure with a really tight deadline. We had less than a month to design and build our robot, and there is no way we could have done it without Steve. There were times he got parts done for us the same day. One time, we were a few days out from the World Championship and after initial rounds of testing, we realized our robot could be even faster. Steve was extremely helpful in this matter, where he used his own steel and welded the gears onto a standoff. He was able to get the new custom gears done in just hours, and we were able to attach the new gears onto the robot on the same day! What really stands out is how much he cares. He always took the time to help us, no matter how busy things were, and he treated our team with so much support and respect. Because of him, we were able to succeed at Worlds, earning 3rd place in Design in our division and making it to playoffs. For the 2026 season, we are ranked as one of the top teams in the state of Illinois and regarded as a top caliber team in the world. We are really grateful for everything Steve has done for us. We truly could not have done this without him, and we would recommend Create Cut Invent to anyone, especially for robotics and STEM projects.

Once the details were finalized, it was turned around in just a few hours and it was exactly what I needed! Steven was extremely generous with his time and advice. His incredibly friendly personality paired with enthusiasm for the craft is rare to find these days. Beyond the excellent work, the owner is a Chicago legend. Honored to have Steven's services so close by in the Western Suburbs. I will definitely be using them again for any fabrication!

This kind of quick response time continued throughout our project with them. We now have two floors of bayed addition and columns finished in black zinc, and it is gorgeous. People walking by on the street stop us to complement the back of our house which also faces a street. During the construction the workmen were professional, considerate and always on time. If there were any questions or unexpected findings, they would always consult us. The project was not cheap, but it was fair (in comparison to other quotes we received), and we truly could not be happier. My husband and I (and our architect) highly recommend Salvo.
