Los Angeles' Trusted Custom Fabrication Company Since 1991
Our Story
Flix FX is a full-service custom fabrication company in Los Angeles, specializing in design, fabrication, and special effects for the film, television, commercial, music, events, and retail industries. Because we believe that exceptional work starts with exceptional craft, every project — from concept to completion — is built entirely in-house at our 13,000-square-foot North Hollywood studio.
For more than 35 years, we have been the trusted fabrication partner for some of the most ambitious productions and brands in the entertainment and marketing industries. As a licensed and bonded California contractor, we bring the technical expertise, specialized equipment, and creative problem-solving that complex projects demand. Furthermore, our diverse in-house capabilities — including 5-Axis CNC, 3D printing, metal fabrication, mold making, scenic painting, and more — mean our clients never have to look anywhere else to get the job done.
From helping Justin Bieber fly over a sold-out arena to building immersive retail displays for Louis Vuitton and Canada Goose, we have spent three decades turning our clients’ most ambitious visions into reality. In short, if it needs to be built, we build it.
Our Specialties
CNC Machining & 5-Axis CNC Milling
We operate both standard CNC and 5-axis CNC milling equipment in-house, giving us the precision to cut complex geometries in wood, foam, plastic, and metal. For production companies and ad agencies in Los Angeles, our CNC milling capability means tighter tolerances and faster turnaround — all under one roof in North Hollywood.
Large Format Printing
Billboard graphics, retail backdrops, event signage, and more — we design, print, and produce large format graphics for clients across Los Angeles and beyond. As a full-service fabrication studio, we integrate large format printing directly into our builds so everything works together seamlessly.
Laser Cutting
Our laser cutting equipment handles everything from intricate prop components to detailed retail signage and display elements. Clean, precise edges every time, in wood, acrylic, and a wide range of materials.
Prop Fabrication
From miniatures to oversized hero props, our prop fabrication team has built thousands of pieces for commercials, film, television, and live events. With more than 7,500 commercials to our name, we know what it takes to build props that perform on camera and hold up on set.
Metal Fabrication
Structural steel, aluminum, and custom metalwork for sets, stage rigs, billboards, and beyond. Our metal fabrication team handles everything from engineering and welding to finishing — built to withstand the demands of live events, outdoor installations, and on-set use.
Carpentry & Lamination
Custom woodwork, scenic flats, display structures, and laminated surfaces — our carpentry team handles both structural and finish-level work, producing clean, production-ready pieces for retail, events, and film.
High-End Finishing & Scenic Painting
A flawless finish makes the difference between a good build and a great one. Our scenic painters and finishing specialists handle everything from realistic material simulation and aged finishes to chrome effects and custom color matching — ensuring every piece looks exactly right on camera or in person.
Vacuforming
From large-scale theatrical pieces to retail display shells and custom packaging, our vacuforming equipment produces consistent, high-quality formed plastic components with fast turnaround. It’s one of our most requested capabilities for experiential and retail clients.
3D Printing
Our Los Angeles studio offers professional-grade 3D printing for props, prototypes, and production pieces of virtually any size or complexity. Whether you need a single hero prop or a run of identical components, our 3D printing capability delivers fast, accurate results.
CAD Modeling & Design
Every complex build at Flix FX starts with precision CAD modeling. Our design team works in industry-standard software to engineer each project before fabrication begins, catching problems early and ensuring the finished piece matches the creative vision exactly.
Mold Making & Casting
Hero props, architectural elements, and production replicas — our mold making and casting work serves film, TV, and experiential clients nationwide.
LEDs & Electronics
We design and integrate custom LED lighting, control systems, and electronic components directly into our builds. From illuminated retail displays to concert stage rigs with programmable lighting, our electronics capability sets our work apart from standard fabrication shops.
Billboards & Signage
As one of Los Angeles’ most experienced billboard fabrication companies, we have built some of the most recognizable installations on the Sunset Strip and across the city. Furthermore, our billboard work goes beyond flat graphics — we specialize in three-dimensional, interactive, and large-scale special build installations that stop traffic.
Sculpting
Our sculptors work in foam, clay, and mixed media to create organic forms, character pieces, and custom architectural elements that can’t be achieved with machine cutting alone. Sculpting is often the starting point for our most complex mold making and casting projects.
