01
Subtractive manufacturing
Manual and CNC milling and turning, surface and tool grinding, wire and hole EDM, plus a diode laser for cutting and engraving. Across metals, plastics, woods and composites.
- Wire EDM
- Hole EDM
- Tool grinding

Prototyping,

one-off engineering.
Jule Labs is a small workshop for hardware that has to exist in the physical world. We build, machine, print, wire and program — usually in quantities of one. Bring us a sketch, a broken part, or an idea you can't quite buy off a shelf.
Six disciplines, one workshop.
Most projects need more than one of these. Keeping software, electronics and the machine shop under one roof means fewer handoffs, fewer misalignments, and a faster path from idea to part in hand.
02
Additive manufacturing
From quick PLA fit-checks to high-temperature industrial FDM in PEEK, PEI and other engineering plastics. Resin for fine detail. End-use parts where the budget for a mould doesn't make sense.
- Industrial FDM
- PEEK / PEI
- SLA resin
- TPU
03
Design & engineering
Mechanical design, CAD modelling, technical drawings and BOMs ready for the shop floor. Tolerance analysis, fits, material selection. Start with a napkin sketch and we'll take it to finished drawings; bring your own CAD and we'll review it for manufacturability before we start. The people drawing it also have to make it — which keeps the geometry honest.
- 3D CAD
- Technical drawings
- BOMs
- DFM
04
Electronics & control
Schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware and the motion/sensing systems they live inside. Test fixtures, bench rigs, small machines and the HMIs you'll actually want to use — from a sensor on a breakout to a custom board with a real BOM.
- KiCad
- Firmware
- Motion control
- Test fixtures
05
Software engineering
Web, mobile, backend and everything that ties them together — from the systems that move sensor data from the bench to a dashboard across town, to predictive models and AI agents that have to keep running long after they ship. Production-grade code, written by people who also have to live with it.
- Embedded
- IoT bridges
- AI
- APIs
06
Repair & one-off
Diagnosis and reverse engineering for things you can no longer buy a part for: vintage machines, discontinued tooling, custom rigs you inherited, the lab instrument that lost its driver board. We make the missing piece — and where it makes sense, we document it so the next one is cheaper.
- Reverse engineering
- Spare parts
- Retrofits
- Documentation
From sketch on a napkin to part in your hand.
We work in short, visible loops. Most engagements run two to eight weeks; longer ones break into milestones with a working artefact at each one. You will never wait a month to see something real.
Step 01
Brief
A conversation about what's broken or missing. Constraints, budget, and what success looks like.
Step 02
Sketch
Concepts, rough geometry, a price and a timeline. Cheap to throw away.
Step 03
Prototype
Build the smallest thing that proves the idea. Touch it, break it, measure it. Learn what the drawing didn't tell us.
Step 04
Iterate
Refine to spec. Tighter tolerances, better materials, real fasteners. We keep you posted along the way.
Step 05
Deliver
Hand off the part and the drawings. Plus a clear path to a second one when you need it.
Tell us what you're trying to build.
A few sentences is enough to get started. If you have a sketch, a CAD file, or a photo of the part you're trying to replace, even better.
