Creativity Meets Technology
Meet Dave — the creative force behind Victoria Custom Laser.
Dave is an award-winning scale model builder and prop maker whose work has earned international recognition. With a passion for precision and creativity, he’s spent years crafting everything from detailed miniatures to screen-worthy costumes and props.
Always on the lookout for new creative challenges, Dave discovered the world of CNC laser technology. With a background in CAD, graphic design, and manufacturing, laser cutting and engraving felt like a natural evolution—blending his technical expertise with his creative flair.
And just like that, Victoria Custom Laser was born.
At its core, the business is driven by a simple, down-to-earth philosophy: quality work, no nonsense, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. That approach has helped Victoria Custom Laser grow into one of the most versatile and creative laser services in the Victoria area.
Whether it’s customizing a one-of-a-kind gift or producing branded items for a large corporate event, Dave brings the same level of passion, detail, and care to every project—making sure each piece tells its own story.
“I look forward to working with you on your next project!”
