Karkhana prototyping studio with digital fabrication tools
Karkhana Makerspace · Build

From idea to working prototype. Fast.

We build hardware products, functional prototypes, and one-of-a-kind installations for startups, industry, and artists — using the same machines, team, and process behind 120+ labs.

Most makers talk about building things. We actually build them. Karkhana's prototyping studio is where the education and the equipment meet real-world output — working products, not just presentations.

Who this is for

Three kinds of builders come to us.

Startups

You have validation. You need a physical product. We'll take your specs, build a working MVP, iterate fast, and help you get investor-ready hardware.

  • IoT
  • Embedded systems
  • Industrial design
  • EVs
  • Agritech
  • Medtech
  • Consumer hardware

Industry

You need a custom jig, a one-off tool, a small production run, or a proof of concept for an internal project. No MOQs. No factory overhead.

  • Custom tooling
  • Jigs & fixtures
  • Digital fabrication
  • Short runs
  • Process prototypes

Artists & Creators

Your concept demands fabrication skills you do not have access to. We bring the machines, materials, and technical expertise so the art can happen.

  • Sculptures
  • Kinetic installations
  • Interactive exhibits
  • Stage props
  • Museum pieces
