The Product Realization Lab

The Stanford Product Realization Laboratory offers prototyping and fabrication facilities in support of student design activities. The shops offer traditional machining, woodworking, foundry, plastics molding, welding, finishing, and metrology tools. State-of-the-art computer-aided drawing, manufacturing, and prototyping systems are also available.

All PRL resources, including instruction and coaching by staff, are available to Stanford students as are a number of quarter-long courses which make use of the shop. Stanford faculty and staff are also invited to use the PRL.

The shop is operated by Dave Beach and Craig Milroy of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Prof. Dave Beach teaches ME203, a hands-on course on design and manufacturing.
