Those who manufacture
Makers are people who create or produce things.
The term often implies hands-on craftsmanship: The makers of fine furniture take pride in their work.
In recent use, maker culture celebrates DIY electronics, 3D printing, and artisanal production.
A product's maker is its manufacturer.
Your Maker, capitalized, is God—meeting your Maker means dying.
