Lab track 01Exploring
Technical tooling
Small, inspectable tools for assessment, automation, research, and repeatable technical operations.
- Applied automation
- Evidence capture
- Human review
V — Lab
Experiments, accurately staged.
The Lab holds exploratory tools, fabricated models, and bounded physical tests. Status labels distinguish a direction from a finished prototype.
Exploring and Designing describe current intent. They do not claim production systems or completed artifacts.
Active tracks / 03
Tools, forms, materials, and measurable behavior.
Lab tracks remain at section level until their process and documentation justify a dedicated page.
Lab track 02Designing
Fabrication & prototypes
Physical models and fabricated parts used to test geometry, fit, interaction, and manufacturing assumptions.
- Digital fabrication
- 3D design
- Iterative testing
Lab track 03Exploring
Material & thermal systems
Constrained experiments that make flow, heat, materials, and component behavior measurable.
- System variables
- Measurement
- Validation
Connected inquiry
Experiments are useful when the reasoning travels.
Research holds the larger questions behind the experiments; Work shows where similar validation practices apply professionally.
