Odonata Craftworks — Custom Laser Engraving & UV Printing
Attleboro, MA · odonataworks.com · ben@odonataworks.com · 781-307-7038
Odonata Craftworks is a custom laser engraving and UV printing studio based in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Founded by Ben Chambers, Odonata works with brands, businesses, makers, and individuals on custom fabricated pieces — from single one-off items to full wholesale production runs. The studio serves clients across New England and ships nationally.
The name Odonata comes from the scientific order of dragonflies, in honor of Ben's grandmother Carli, whose favorite animal it was. The business reflects a balance between intentional craft and practical structure — the dragonfly's combination of beauty and function. Ben brings roughly ten years of background in cannabis packaging and custom fabrication to the studio.
---Services
Laser Engraving
Odonata offers precision laser engraving on a wide range of materials. Engraving is available for single pieces as well as production quantities for wholesale accounts. The studio works with wood, metal, acrylic, leather, slate, stone, fabric, and other substrates. Clients with unusual materials are encouraged to reach out — the studio can confirm compatibility before committing to an order.
UV Printing
Full-color UV printing is available for designs that require color, photography, or detail beyond what laser engraving can achieve. UV printing is compatible with many of the same materials as laser engraving. Odonata uses a dedicated UV flatbed printer for this service.
Custom Built Products
Odonata designs and fabricates complete custom products from scratch. Current offerings include dab tools, tap handles, and assembled fabricated pieces. These are products where the finished object itself is the deliverable — not just an engraved or printed surface. Custom product work is quoted individually based on materials, complexity, and quantity.
On-Site Engraving for Events
Odonata brings its laser equipment to events and activations for live, on-site engraving. This service is available for weddings, corporate events, brand activations, brewery events, dispensary events, and private parties throughout New England. Guests watch their item engraved in real time, making it a memorable, personalized experience. The studio uses a portable xTool F2 Ultra with conveyor for on-site work.

The studio is set up for small batch through mid-volume production and prefers accounts with a repeat ordering pattern over one-time large runs.

Corporate and Brand Activations
On-site engraving for corporate events, product launches, trade shows, and brand activations. The studio brings equipment to the venue and engrave branded or personalized items live for attendees.

---Service Area
Odonata Craftworks is based in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The studio serves clients across New England, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. On-site engraving for events is available throughout New England. Shipping is available nationally for production orders.
Attleboro is located in Bristol County, Massachusetts, approximately 35 miles south of Boston and 15 miles north of Providence, Rhode Island. The studio's location makes it accessible to clients in both the Greater Boston and Providence metro areas.
---Project Scale
Odonata handles projects across a wide range of scale and complexity. Most work falls into one of three categories:
- Surface work: Laser engraving and UV printing on client-supplied or studio-sourced materials. Single pieces through wholesale production runs.
- Custom fabricated products: Complete objects designed and built by the studio — dab tools, tap handles, assembled pieces, and similar goods.
- Larger custom builds: For projects that extend into custom retail fixtures, millwork, or interior build elements, Odonata can quote through a network of licensed fabricators and craftspeople. This allows the studio to serve as a single point of contact for more complex scopes without requiring clients to source those relationships independently.
If you are unsure whether a project fits, reach out. Odonata can either handle it directly or identify the right path to get it done.
