E.B. Effects was formed in 1988 in Simi Valley, California to produce props and models for the entertainment industry. Since then, we have diversified our capabilities to cover all aspects of design and custom fabrication with our main focus remaining in the entertainment field.

Most of our capabilities have come about simply because in this industry time is always an issue. In most cases, the project or approach is so strange that explaining what you need to a sub-contractor and hoping that it's done right the first time is too high a risk. So we have set up internal areas equipped to address everything from initial design and manufacture to final scenic paint and shipping. Having mastered many disciplines in-house, has enabled us to offer a one-stop facility rather than being strictly a specialty shop.

Proudly, our one-stop approach has made some very loyal clients. Many turn projects over to us without hesitation. They know we will make the deadline on time, on budget, with no excuses.

After viewing our site, if you would like additional information on a specific project or have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to working with you.

A lot has happened since first forming E.B. Effects and Design in 1988. It seems so long ago now.

We have all heard the story of the lone guy, in his garage, with little more than a big idea. Some make it, some don't. However, it's a nice thought that over twenty-six years later, while in our new company-owned facility in Medford, Oregon, surrounded by lifelong friends, family and colleagues, we are reminiscing about that first garage shop.

While a lot has changed - our location, our facility, our staff, our client list – the one thing that has remained constant, our dedication to designing and fabricating to the best of our abilities, using the most advanced, innovative, materials and processes available. We take every project personally and it is reflected in the end result. Always have - always will.

Clear Urethane Casting

General urethane casting has become a specialty of ours, but clear urethanes are in a class by themselves; and after 26 years we can teach that class.

In our history, we have cast clear urethanes in quantities from 3 grams up to 1750 lbs. in a single pour. Using proprietary techniques, we can cast, lay-up or employ dispensing equipment to create flawless clear and color tinted, UV stable parts. This has made us a leader in the field of clear casting. Our products are in some of the most high profile theme parks and venues around the globe. Many of the items are working for a living, not just sitting there being pretty, although, they are that as well.

See our Clear Casting section in the Gallery for examples.

Urethane Spraying -
Utilizing a BJB Enterprises CPE 600 spray machine, we can hard-coat metal, foam, fabric, plaster, etc with a variety of materials, including, Fire Retardant Hard Coats, Spray Foams and Flexible Urethanes.

In addition to spraying urethane as a surface coat or traditional 2-part foam for landscapes or insulation, we also use the machine for part making. Using a process of spraying urethane rubber as a mold face then backing it with foam or a suitable hard coat enables us to create large, short run molds in a very short time. These molds can then be sprayed into for part reproduction.

Urethane, Epoxy, and Rubber Casting -
Utilizing vacuum, pressure, centrifugal force and hand casting, our plastic and rubber part making has evolved into what we view as an art. From a single prototype through multiple parts in the hundreds, we can reproduce anything in a variety of plastics or rubbers to meet your specific needs.
