ABOUT IT'SLAB9
Where Design, Precision, and Imagination Converge
Lab9 Engineering is a full-scale research, design, and manufacturing laboratory — created by Ishan Thakore, a mechanical engineer with deep expertise in 3D printing, piezo systems, binder jet technology, electronics, and material process design.
At Lab9, engineering isn’t theoretical. It’s physical, tactile, and alive. Every part, machine, and mechanism inside this facility has been designed, prototyped, or re-engineered in-house to serve one purpose.
What We Do
Precision 3D Printing Services
Lab9 specializes in functional 3D printing for industrial applications — not just prototypes, but parts meant to live and perform.
We offer:
- Industrial 3D printing in sand, metal, and polymer
- Binder jet R&D and process development
- Per-layer compaction and vacuum-assisted build systems
- Custom material validation for casting, tooling, and performance
Every component printed at Lab9 is part of a real engineering challenge — fixtures, housings, mechanisms, and precision test models built for industrial results.
→Design & CAD Services (Per Hour)
Lab9 provides professional CAD, simulation, and mechanical design services on a per-hour basis.
This service is ideal for:
- Industrial R&D teams needing rapid mechanical design
- Startups requiring low-cost prototype validation
- Machine builders needing precision fixture or head design
- Automation engineers integrating motion and print systems
Our design philosophy is centered on manufacturability — ensuring every design moves smoothly from CAD → CNC or additive manufacturing with no compromise.

THE ENGINEER BEHIND IT
ISHAN THAKORE
Mechanical Engineer | Additive Manufacturing Specialist | Systems Designer
Ishan’s experience spans additive manufacturing systems, printhead design, material science, and embedded controls. His career has revolved around building machines that blend mechanical perfection with electrical intelligence — from multi-printhead textile printers to sand binder jetting prototypes capable of micron-level accuracy.
He’s a problem solver, system integrator, and relentless perfectionist — the kind of engineer who dissects machines to build better ones.
Lab9 is his creation — a facility designed, wired, and fabricated by hand, where every 3D-printed bracket, fixture, and layout choice exists to optimize work efficiency and precision.
Engineering Approach
- Mechanical Engineering: Precision design & complex assemblies
- Electronics & Embedded Systems: PCB & component integration
- Systems Engineering: Merging mechanical, electronic & software layers
THE FACILITY
Designed for precision. Built to perform.
VISION STATEMENT
“Lab9 is creating India’s next industrial revolution — where additive manufacturing, mechanical design, and electronic systems converge into one ecosystem.”
THE VISION
Lab9 was founded to bring together precision design, advanced materials, and modern manufacturing intelligence under one roof.
It’s a living system — not a static workshop — where innovation cycles from idea → design → print → validation → production at remarkable speed.
The goal is simple but radical:
To make India’s next generation of high-performance, intelligent machines —
starting from sand, metal, and motion.
