DISTINCT BY
DESIGN.

A product becomes memorable when form, function and identity work together. AMLAB can help brand and design teams move beyond catalogue components through digitally developed accents, small-series pieces, custom interfaces and functional mock-ups.

CH / ADVANCED MANUFACTURINGAPPLICATION ENGINEERING↘ SCROLL

TURN COMPLEXITY
INTO A WORKABLE PART.

For consumer brands, industrial designers, agencies and custom-product teams.

We begin with the functional requirement and choose a design and manufacturing route only after understanding what must be proven.

APPLICATION NOTE

WHERE WE CAN
ADD VALUE.

Application examples to start a technical conversation — not a portfolio of completed contracts.

01 / 04

Brand-signature components

Custom badges, sculptural embellishments, logo applications and removable signature pieces.

02 / 04

Limited series

Short runs and colour or geometry variants without committing immediately to permanent production tooling.

03 / 04

Functional product prototypes

Enclosure studies, hinge mock-ups, attachment systems and handling evaluations.

04 / 04

Exhibition & promotional design

Display concepts, event objects and storytelling pieces designed for a specific audience or launch.

THE DETAILS
CHANGE
EVERYTHING.

These are the questions we bring to the table before recommending a process.

Discuss a project ↗
01

Brand consistency

Colour palette, logo constraints, tactile quality and product language.

02

Attachment & durability

Clips, adhesives, replaceability, impact and everyday handling.

03

Economics of variation

How unique each unit needs to be and what stays standardised.

04

Responsible design

Material choices, post-processing, repair and end-of-life considerations.

NOT EVERY PART
NEEDS THE SAME PROCESS.

Processes below are starting options, not promises of in-house machine availability.

PROCESS / 01

SLA / DLP

Fine-detail masters and visual prototypes.

PROCESS / 02

FDM / FFF

Accessible functional mock-ups and custom forms.

PROCESS / 03

SLS

Repeatable intricate pieces and enclosed features.

IMAGINE THE BRIEF

FROM THE QUESTION
TO THE FIRST PROTOTYPE.

A luggage or accessory brand wants a limited-edition signature detail. We test attachment geometry, create several surface concepts, prototype the selected direction and evaluate materials and unit economics before a small-batch decision.

  1. 01DefineFunction, constraints, desired outcome
  2. 02DevelopCAD, process route, design review
  3. 03EvaluatePrototype, test inputs, iteration
  4. 04DecideNext iteration or manufacturing path

↗ Concepts are illustrative. Brand partnerships or mass-production experience are not implied.

BEFORE WE
GET STARTED.

01Can each piece be different?

Digital production can support controlled variation, subject to design, process and finishing economics.

02Do you work from brand guidelines?

Yes. Logos, colour intent, industrial design files or reference products can guide early concept development.

03What quantities make sense?

There is no universal threshold. We compare desired complexity, number of variants, finish and total cost with other processes.
