Education & Research Labs are where curiosity becomes capability and ideas are tested against reality. This category explores the spaces where learning, experimentation, and fabrication intersect—labs built to teach fundamentals, push boundaries, and turn theory into working prototypes. From university engineering labs and maker classrooms to private research facilities and innovation hubs, these environments are designed for discovery, iteration, and precision. Here, fabrication plays a quiet but critical role. Workbenches, fixtures, enclosures, test rigs, and modular lab systems must support constant change while remaining safe, durable, and adaptable. Articles in this section dive into how labs are designed for hands-on learning, rapid experimentation, and repeatable research—covering everything from layout planning and equipment integration to power distribution, safety systems, and workflow optimization. Education & Research Labs are built for people who ask “what if?” Whether supporting students learning core skills, researchers validating new concepts, or teams prototyping the next breakthrough, this category highlights the fabrication choices that help ideas move faster, experiments run cleaner, and learning happen by doing.
