Saber and Prop Makers
Independent designers, makers and small brands building lightsaber hilts, replicas and original props in machined metal.
What Gets In The Way
These are the four problems this group of customers arrives with most often.
Production MOQs you cannot fund
Factories quote hundreds of units. Your run is twenty, and it sells out slowly.
Parts that do not index together
Body, shroud and pommel machined separately never clock the way the CAD said they would.
Detail that gets simplified
Shops ask you to remove the fins and flutes that are the reason people buy the design.
Batch two does not match batch one
A new supplier means a new program, and customers notice the difference.
How GRACTS Handles It
- Start at one piece, confirm the first article, then run the batch
- Send all mating drawings together so threads and fits are cut against each other
- Detail features are planned as machining, not treated as decoration
- Reorders run from the same program and setup as the approved batch

Saber and Prop Makers Questions
Can you machine a full hilt set from my CAD?
Yes. Components are manufactured from your drawings, CAD files and specifications, from prototypes through to repeat small batches.
What is the smallest order you will take?
One piece. Volume pricing applies from 100 pieces upward.
Do you keep my design confidential?
GRACTS manufactures to the drawings you supply. Raise any confidentiality requirement when you send the files so it is agreed in writing before production.
