Labs
It’s a space where we do experiment with new interesting technology and tinker with hardware and software projects for our in-house use or with our partners. We are also actively contributing to the open-source community.
Fabrication – Laser Cutting and Engraving
We offer Laser Cutting and Engraving fabrication services to our customers. Laser cutting offers a quick and easy way to make custom parts for your project out of sheets of acrylic, wood, card stock, and rubber. All you need is to prepare your design and we’ll handle the rest.
