The Lab

At Oratek, the Lab is where ideas are turned into working systems.It is a hands-on environment where hardware, software, and mechanics are designed, tested, and validated together.

When required, we collaborate with specialized Swiss partners for specific processes or volumes. Core design decisions, system integration, and validation always remain in-house — because making things real is part of our engineering culture.

We operate a fleet of around 25 3D printers, allowing us to move quickly from concept to functional parts. From fine-detail components to robust mechanical elements, we produce single prototypes as well as small batches for validation and pre-series

Our Capabilities

Lab & Projects: Where it all comes together

The Lab is a shared space where projects take shape in close collaboration with our clients. It is where concepts, prototypes, and systems can be reviewed, adjusted, and validated together as they evolve.

Beyond development, the Lab also supports the manufacturing of small series and pilot batches, allowing solutions to be built, tested, and delivered under controlled conditions before scaling further.

Our engineering philosophy

Grounded in real use

Engineering starts from real constraints to confront ideas with reality early.

Built across disciplines

Hardware, software, electronics, and mechanics are developed together to form coherent systems.

Validated through making

Prototypes are built to validate design decisions through use, not speculation.

Designed to be deliverable

Solutions are shaped for production and long-term operation, from single systems to small series.

We have used those manufacturing technics for many projects
