Dear Backers, Your Lab-Box rewards are on their way! We started shipping throughout Asia two weeks ago and some of our Asian backers already received, unboxed and used Lab-Box! We are very happy about the feedback we received so far and we are just thrilled to hear more from you. Shipping will continue throughout Europe and America through July and August, so do not fear: your Lab-Box will be with you soon! Our container to Europe just arrived at our hub in Italy. First thing

Dear Backers, We arranged logistics from our factory to our hubs in Europe, America, and Asia. Below are pictures of our containers, which are now sailing to Europe and America. The Asian batch will arrive in Hong Kong soon by truck. We plan on starting shipping from our hubs over the second half of June. Approximately, we believe you should receive your rewards between the end of June and the first half of August. Anyway, you will receive an email when your parcel will be on

Dear Backers, Production is going great and about 60% of Lab-Box have been successfully assembled and packed! We are in the process of arranging logistics and shipments from the factory.  A lot of people started to think that we were never going to deliver this project, so we are even happier to share the following visuals with you :) Lab-Box is really coming! And yes, we have more detailed information on approximate delivery dates. So far, we plan on finishing and shipping a

Dear Backers, We are approaching the final steps of this project. We have almost finished production of the plastic parts, we have already assembled thousands of Lab-Box parts and we are arranging logistics for shipments. Part of our team is currently in China to see over the last steps. As you can see from the pictures and video attached, everything is going well and a lot of packages are being stocked waiting to be shipped. We still have some minor issues to solve and manag

Dear Backers, Factories in China are now open and back at working at full capacity. As you can see in the video, we are proceeding with mass production and assembling of all the pieces. This part needs time, but we can say we are in the conclusive stage of our Lab-Box project. In the next few days, our team will again be supervising production and assembly line on site, in hopes to dispatch the first shipments as soon as possible. We will dispatch small quantities at first an

Dear Backers, Part of the pieces production and moulding has been completed; in fact, medium-format modules and other pieces are being assembled. All metal, rubber and plastic gear has been tested and okayed. All carton package boxes have been printed and are on their way to the factory. However, some tasks are taking longer than expected. Due to Chinese Holidays taking place between 25 January and 15 February, most factories – including ours – have been either closed or expe

Dear Backers, Throughout the past few weeks, our team has overseen works at the factory to organise production. After checking on every single piece and writing an important document on quality control, we have set all the manufacturing standards. We can now say that the printing phase has been entered: production has officially begun! A couple of weeks ago, we have made an important decisions: right before launching production, we decided to change the reel material to try a

Dear Backers, We are happy to introduce you to the packaging design and the final draft of the instructions manual for Lab-Box. As the mass production of Lab-Box moves along, we are printing and assembling its packaging. We wanted the container to enhance Lab-Box's main features: clean lines, modularity, and appealing colors. To echo the tank’s design, we chose a packaging option with a very clean outline, making the Lab-Box brand recognizable. We also chose to have separate

Dear Backers, The work on the moulds has been completed and we are now starting production of all pieces. Next week, we will be back in China, to check on the state of production at the factory.  Throughout the last month, we have thoroughly tested the injection-moulded pieces and gathered feedback from selected testers. We encountered an issue with the 135 module built-in blade: the type of steel we initially used was too soft, thus making the tip of the blade bend too easil

Dear Backers, In the past few weeks, we worked at the factory to check and test all the moulds. We made some minor adjustments to thickness and tolerance of some pieces and everything seems to work very well. The in-depth work of the past few months and the extra time we gave to the first phase finally payed out, indeed we obtained moulds of excellent quality. As of now, the next steps are mould-surface finishing and proper machinery calibration in order to proceed with injec

Dear Backers, As anticipated, the steel moulds have been completed in the past few days: at the moment, we are running a deep analysis to make sure that everything is okay and make slight adjustments if necessary. In the meantime, we are printing the first final ABS pieces through injection moulding: the final surface finishing will be the last step. We are also testing the three finishing colors for the lid and the knob. As of now, results look good and satisfyingly! In the

Dear Backers, We can finally share with you the first pictures of the final packaging design: we are currently producing the first prototypes and setting up the production. At the moment, part of our staff is working on the moulds for the Professional Lid, that, as you might remember, is following a separate production process: all electronic components have been defined, the temperature probe is being tested for waterproof certification, and the firmware has been completed.

Dear Backers, The mould production continues and we are following every step of the process to make sure it goes smoothly. This is a slightly long but very important phase, which is going to last a few more weeks: the moulds will be ready in August and we will confirm it in the July update. In the meantime, we are ordering plastic materials (ABS, Nylon) and metal parts (Stainless Steel 304 and 316) in advance to optimise our time. Professional lid: meanwhile, final adjustment
