While most existing designs prioritise a utilitarian approach, when approached with a new project and a fresh canvas: how can we introduce a new and interesting design perspective to the 19” rack mount format?

Learn what goes into producing a MIDI controller, from initial concept and material choices to prototyping, firmware planning, and post-production. Learn how user-driven design and testing keep products functional, ergonomic, and future-proof.

Discover how Engineering Lab can take your AI-powered hardware from concept to production: faster, smarter, beautifully designed, and precisely crafted for its purpose.

Starting your product development journey can be daunting, but with the right plan, you can avoid common pitfalls and build momentum from day one. This guide offers practical tips and free resources to help you turn your ideas into real, manufacturable products.

At Engineering Lab, we believe product design should be beautiful, functional—and above all—buildable. Whether we’re designing enclosures, interactive interfaces, or fine-tuning how a single LED glows through a piece of resin, we pay attention to every detail.

At Engineering Lab, we rely on SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing as a go-to method for producing high-fidelity prototypes. From early ideation to final testing, it enables us to move quickly, iterate with confidence, and deliver high-quality results - fast!

For startups and scaleups in product development, the path from idea to launch is packed with critical decisions. Small batch production has become a game-changer, allowing companies to navigate the market faster, gather insights, and refine their products based on real-world feedback.

From the materials we choose to the finishes we apply, every decision in product design impacts durability, functionality, and sustainability. A well chosen material ensures strength and purpose, while the right finish enhances longevity and user experience.

Capturing your product in its best light is essential to showcasing its unique qualities. At our in-house studio, we specialise in photography and videography that brings your product to life, from the smallest detail to the overall design.

As we see it, your products should last a lifetime. With that in mind, we built a custom configuration tool to future-proof the EL4P, allowing you to adjust channels and settings as your needs—and the musical landscape—evolve.
