The Innovation Lab
Some of the most creative members of Triumph Workshop can be found inside the Innovation Lab. The things found in this area may be a little cleaner than those in the woodshop or metalshop, but they are certainly tools of the trade.
Where Ideas Become Real
Not only are there state-of-the-art machines for making, the Innovation Lab also offers several different collaborative work areas that are the perfect place to ponder new inventions or get inspiration from others.
What You Can Make Here
The Innovation Lab brings digital design and physical making together. Here is what is on the floor.
3D Printing & Design
Multiple 3D printers turn CAD files into physical parts overnight. Design in the software you already use, then print prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and finished products on machines you do not have to own.
Laser Cutting & Engraving
Two laser cutters handle precision cutting and engraving on wood, acrylic, leather, and more. Ideal for signage, enclosures, packaging prototypes, and detailed product work.
Electronics Workbench
Electronics equipment for building circuits, wiring sensors, and bringing smart products to life.
From Idea to Product
The Innovation Lab compresses the whole product cycle into a single room. Most makers move through it like this.
Design
Model your idea in CAD on the lab computers, or bring your own files. Get input from other makers in the collaborative work areas before you commit material.
Prototype
Print, cut, and wire a working prototype the same day. Iterate fast — the cost of trying something is a few hours, not a tooling order.
Refine
Test, measure, and revise. Dial in tolerances on the laser, swap a part on the 3D printer, rework a board at the electronics bench until it is right.
Produce
Move from one-off to small-batch. Brand it with vinyl, sublimation, or embroidery and walk out with a finished, sellable product.
Built for Founders
A Product Studio Without the Overhead
Starting a product business usually means buying machines you can barely afford and rarely run at capacity. The Innovation Lab removes that barrier. Prototype, test, brand, and produce small batches using professional equipment — and put your capital into your idea instead of your tooling.
