ViewHow ordering works
Zero back-and-forth emails. Precision manufacturing on demand.
01
Submit specs
Use the configurator to send a logo, sketch, or exact dimensions. No back-and-forth email thread to get started.
02
CAD & quote
Thomas reviews the request, builds the parametric model, and emails an exact quote within one to two days.
03
Fabrication
Once you approve, the tool is printed in-lab from PLA Matte — or PETG for structural parts that need the heat resistance.
04
Shipped
Your tool arrives ready for the studio. Digital orders get an STL link instead of a box.
Texture library
Patterns that tile.
Cellular hex-lattice, even cell walls. Rollers are modeled so the repeat is seamless across a slab.
The lab technician
Hi, I’m Thomas.
I’m a robotics student, CAD designer, and the technician behind The Chop Lab. What started as a project to print better pottery tools for my mom’s studio has evolved into a full-scale micro-manufacturing lab.
By utilizing parametric modeling and advanced FDM printing, I ensure every part — whether it’s a clay stamp or a custom mechanical gear — is mathematically precise and structurally sound.

Send a mark to the bench.
A logo, three initials, or a bucket lip measurement is enough to start a model. Thomas emails the CAD and a quote — nothing is charged today.
