The Design Lab

A quiet corner of the Studio, built for focus.

Our Design Lab is a dedicated CAD workstation zone inside the Studio room, separate from the busier Maker Row — used for one-on-one SME consultations and student design sessions alike.

LAYER Z 1.00mm — WHO IT'S FOR
Built for four kinds of makers

Whoever you are, there's a reason to walk in.

The Creative

You've got a design in your head and want to see it in your hands.

The Hobbyist

You need help translating a real-world part into a CAD model that actually prints.

The Student

You're curious about CAD and manufacturing and want hands-on access to a real design lab.

The Entrepreneur

You need a first working prototype designed before you scale into production.

LAYER Z 2.00mm — HOW IT WORKS
Step 1

Tell us what you need

Bring a napkin sketch, a broken part, a measurement, or just an idea. No file required to start.

Step 2

We model it with you

An SME walks you through turning that idea into a printable CAD file — and if you want to learn, you leave knowing more than when you walked in.

Step 3

Print it same day

Walk your finished file straight over to Printer Row, or queue it for the Production Room if it's a bigger job.
