Makelab is an additive manufacturing company built for modern businesses that need to make physical parts. We specialize in additive manufacturing to produce high-quality parts, prototypes, and small-batch production runs (50,000+ parts) for companies in consumer products, robotics, medical, architecture, film & tv, commercial arts, and marketing/advertising. Founded in 2017 by two Pratt-trained industrial designers, Makelab started in Brooklyn with a simple goal: to make prototyping more accessible, consistent, and fast. We’ve since expanded to San Francisco, operating full-service print labs in both cities and shipping parts nationwide. Our clients range from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s. We work with agencies like Doris Dev, PENSA, and Interwoven Design Group, and brands including AiTA Bio, Estée Lauder, Judith Leiber, Aigen, and Eaton. Whether it’s for initial validation, field testing, or short-run production, our team integrates deep DFM knowledge, rigorous feasibility checks, and tightly scoped QC plans into every project. Makelab is a hands-on production partner. Our in-house team manages everything from file prep to post-processing with speed, transparency, and quality control. We also support high-mix, low-volume production as a backend manufacturing partner to other platforms. As we scale, we’re building a verticalized network of manufacturing hubs to meet growing demand for local, agile, and standardized production. Our goal: empower product teams to move faster, smarter, and with confidence.
