fabricator

One who invents

A fabricator is someone who makes things—either literally, as a worker who constructs or assembles components a metal fabricator, or figuratively, as someone who invents falsehoods a fabricator of lies.

The word carries different weight depending on context: neutral or even positive for manufacturing, distinctly negative for deception.
