Objects imagined, prototypes realized

We advance research and innovation for faculty, students, campus partners, and the regional community through collaborative design and multimodal prototyping.

Our Process

The Lab’s process leverages three key components: Design, Prototype, and Launch. Our clients can plug into one or all of these assets. Initial project consultations are offered free of charge — the Lab’s door is always open!

  1. Design

    Our designers synthesize your rough sketches and concepts into 3D models. You are able to work alongside both industrial and graphic designers to bring your ideas to life.

  2. Prototype

    The Lab maintains world-class 3D printing and laser cutting equipment in plastic, rubber, wood, cardboard, and sheet metal. The Lab can take your product from first article to MVP to small batch production!

  3. Launch

    The Lab is pleased to offer six dedicated startup bays and four additional workbenches for our clients to occupy as they launch their companies.
