Givewave Studios

Givewave Studios is a prop shop in Lowell, Massachusetts that also runs a 6,000-square-foot maker space for cosplayers. On commission it builds lightweight, convention-safe props and accessories using EVA foam, 3D printing and casting, usually delivered painted, weathered and sealed, with raw unfinished pieces possible on a budget.

After the inquiry form, a detailed quote follows within seven business days, and a contract puts the project on the production calendar. A 50% deposit is required to start; 75% of it can be refunded within seven days, and the final 50% is due before shipping. Custom items are not returnable.

Finished pieces can take up to two months, plus up to two weeks of shipping. Rush work costs $45 per item plus 20% of retail and includes free priority shipping in the US. US orders ship USPS Priority; international orders are accepted.
