How much do 3d fabrication jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between 3D Fabrication vs 3D Printing?
| Aspect | 3D Fabrication | 3D Printing |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires technical skills, CAD knowledge, and sometimes certifications in manufacturing or fabrication | Often requires knowledge of 3D modeling software; certifications are less common |
| Work Environment | Workshop or manufacturing setting with tools like CNC machines, laser cutters, and fabrication equipment | Laboratory or studio environment using 3D printers |
| Industry Usage | Used in manufacturing, prototyping, and custom fabrication projects | Primarily used for rapid prototyping, small-scale production, and artistic applications |
While both roles involve creating objects from digital models, 3D Fabrication encompasses a broader range of manufacturing processes and equipment, whereas 3D Printing specifically refers to additive manufacturing using 3D printers. 3D Fabrication often requires more technical skills and equipment handling, making it suitable for complex or large-scale projects.

Job description
Millwork Design & Production Manager
Location: Long Island City, NY
Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience
Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site
About the Role
Our client is a distinguished luxury residential millwork division with a reputation built on unparalleled craftsmanship, advanced fabrication capabilities, and the delivery of truly custom solutions for high-end homes. Operating out of Long Island City, they combine sophisticated design with hands-on production - CNC fabrication, fine woodworking, metalwork, and specialty concrete - all under one roof.
They are seeking a Millwork Design & Production Manager: a versatile, technically deep professional who can bridge the gap between design intent and shop floor execution. This is a role for someone who is equally at home generating precise shop drawings and standing next to a CNC machine, and who has the leadership presence to develop a skilled fabrication team. It comes with a genuine growth path for the right person - this division is building toward expanded operations and wants someone who can grow into a senior leadership role as the business scales.
What We're Looking For
This role demands a rare combination: design sophistication, fabrication fluency, and operational leadership. The ideal candidate has done all three - not just one.
- Technically expert in digital modeling and shop drawing production for complex luxury millwork
- Hands-on CNC experience - knows how to run the machine, not just spec it
- Comfortable managing a fabrication team and holding them to luxury-grade standards
- A design thinker who understands material science and pushes what's possible
- Client-facing capable - able to communicate professionally about project details, specs, and logistics
Core Responsibilities
Design & Drafting
- Lead the drafting process for custom luxury residential millwork projects, from concept through construction-ready shop drawings
- Develop and refine digital models for structural details in coordination with architectural and engineering specifications
- Generate precise shop drawings for the fabrication team, maintaining exacting standards of accuracy and detail
- Contribute to project narrative and concept development, translating client vision into buildable design
Fabrication & Production
- Operate and manage advanced CNC machinery including 3-axis CNC milling and laser cutting for custom component production
- Coordinate fabrication workflows across design, engineering, and production to meet luxury quality and schedule standards
- Provide hands-on expertise in fine woodworking, metalwork, and specialty concrete fabrication techniques
- Supervise and support the fabrication team through assembly, ensuring meticulous attention to detail at every stage
Operations & Project Coordination
- Manage project schedules, material procurement, and resource allocation within the millwork shop
- Maintain client communication on project details, specifications, and logistics with professional, high-touch service
- Uphold rigorous quality control standards across all production activities
- Drive continuous improvement in fabrication methods, material applications, and shop processes
Leadership & Team Development
- Mentor and develop fabrication team members, elevating their skills in high-end craftsmanship
- Model the standards of quality, precision, and professionalism the brand is built on
- Actively contribute to the growth and operational development of the division over time
Qualifications
- Proven experience in a professional design and fabrication environment, specifically within luxury residential millwork or high-end custom fabrication - required
- Demonstrated expertise in digital modeling for structural details and generating comprehensive shop drawings for complex projects
- Hands-on CNC machinery experience, including operation and working knowledge of maintenance
- Multi-material fabrication experience: fine woods, metals, and specialty concrete applications
- Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills with the ability to manage demanding timelines and client expectations
- A genuine passion for material science, fabrication innovation, and the application of advanced techniques to luxury environments
- Degree in Architecture, Industrial Design, Construction Management, Engineering, Fine Arts (3D/fabrication focus), or a related field - or equivalent demonstrated expertise
Technical Proficiencies
- CAD/CAM: Rhino + Grasshopper, RhinoCam, Revit, Polycam
- Design/Graphics: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
- Office: Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
The Opportunity
This is an exceptional opportunity for a design-fabrication hybrid professional to take ownership of a high-performing luxury millwork operation and build something meaningful within it. Our client offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience, a hands-on and craft focused environment, and real long-term growth potential for the right person. If you are technically exceptional, leadership-capable, and driven by the pursuit of quality without compromise, we want to hear from you.
Our client is an equal opportunity employer
