About Us

Who are we?

At Maker Supplies, we're all about making it easier for makers.

Established in 2021 by husband-and-wife team Jesse and Amy, Maker Supplies started as a small way to support local businesses with quick-turnaround laser cutting and acrylic blanks. It soon evolved into something bigger. When Jesse struggled to find small quantities of quality metals for his own projects, he realised other makers were running into the same problem.

That's when Maker Supplies shifted gears — beginning with aluminium offcuts and growing from there. Today we stock cut-to-order lengths across a full range of machining metals, including aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, and bronze, in a variety of profiles and grades to suit everything from hobby projects to small business production runs.

Alongside our metals range, we also stock engineering plastics — including nylon and acetal  — for applications where metal isn't the right material for the job. Whether you need a self-lubricating bushing, a wear-resistant component, or a machinable plastic for a precision part, we've got you covered.

While machining metals and engineering plastics are now the heart of what we do, we still offer our original range of laser-cut acrylic products for those working with plastics in a creative context.

Our goal has always been simple: to support hobbyists, small businesses, and creators with no minimum orders, transparent pricing, and fast turnaround times. Whether you're prototyping, fabricating, or just tinkering in your shed, we're here to help you make it happen.
