SB Labs employs 3D design to deliver state-of-the-art laboratories and learning spaces. The in-house team creates detailed digital twins of bespoke furniture, fume cupboards, and complete interiors, enabling clients to see 2D blueprints, 3D renderings, and even Revit models before installation begins. This approach efficiently utilises space, future-proof layouts, and input from all project stakeholders.

What is 3D Design?

3D design utilises specialised software to create virtual representations of objects that have width, height, and depth. These models can be rotated, viewed from any angle, and modified before any physical construction takes place. This technology is widely used in architecture, engineering, interior design, and product development due to its ability to precisely visualise end results and identify issues early.

Benefits of 3D Design

  • Visualisation: Detailed 3D models help users and decision-makers understand complex projects, layouts, or new products before they are physically built.
  • Flexibility: Easily adapt designs for different needs, such as reconfiguring laboratory workstations as research priorities shift or incorporating modular components.
  • Innovation: 3D design encourages experimentation with new materials, spatial configurations, and ergonomic solutions, leading to more effective, inspiring spaces.
  • Efficiency: Potential problems can be identified and resolved in the digital phase, reducing redos, material waste, and delays during actual installation

Applications in Laboratory and Educational Environments

3D design streamlines the process of developing bespoke laboratory furniture and layouts, ensuring that workspaces are both efficient and meet the exact needs of users. 3D models allow stakeholders to validate ideas, simulate operations, and make informed adjustments. This saves time and money in the long run. It’s also so much easier to consume as it’s a common visual language for designers, architects, teachers, and clients to ensure everyone shares the same vision for a project.
