SERVICES OF CRE8
The combination of the CRE8 Foundation and Venture allows us to offer our services in a socially responsible way. Thanks to the blend of practical coaching provided in the workshops and the support given by Stichting Streetcornerwork, the trainees who work for us are not only able to operate the machinery but can also communicate well with our customers. In this way we are positively contributing to the career chances of these young people. By combining the foundation with the commercial venture, CRE8 can act as an independent organization with our own strategy and project management.
The venture is lead by Jurre and Maria offers services around digitale fabrication for business clients and for the purpose of the fabrication of our self designed consumer products. Please feel free to contact us for advice and design services concerning prototyping and production of your product – we can accompany you from start to finish in the process of developing a product.
SHOP & WEBSHOP
Our product collection can be seen in our webshop or on display in our workshop at the Westerdoksdijk. Almost all products are designed by us, others by friends/colleagues. At this moment our products are sold at many different shops and webshops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France.
You can pass by any time you like and directly experience how 3D printing and laser cutting works.
