DRK LAB Services

Services built for real-world production work

DRK LAB is not just a catalogue of parts. It’s a small lab to spot problems on set, prototype quickly and deliver solutions that are ready to work from day one.

What can I help you with?

I mostly work with rental houses, production companies and technicians who need very specific parts, usually for yesterday. These are the main pillars of DRK LAB:

3D design for set work

Design of parts made for real use: caps, protectors, adapters, mounts, rigs and small problem-solving tools. Everything starts from a real-world need, not from a theoretical catalogue.

Fast prototyping for rentals and crews

From idea or problem to a functional part in very little time. We can iterate quickly until we find the perfect fit: not too tight, not too loose.

Production using technical materials

Printing with materials that match each use case: matte PLA for general product, reinforced materials for parts that must handle impacts, heat or continuous load.

Functional merch for the audiovisual world

Tool-keychains, small accessories and useful parts with your logo built-in. Merch designed to live on set, not to stay forgotten in a drawer.

Typical projects I get asked for

If any of these situations sound familiar, there’s a good chance DRK LAB can help:

  • You have a fleet of cameras or monitors and you’re missing a very specific part to protect or mount them.
  • You need to replace parts that are no longer manufactured, but the kit still has plenty of life ahead.
  • You want media cases tailored exactly to your camera kit or to a specific production.
  • You’re looking for useful merch for a rental house, production company or film school: small tools that actually get used.
  • You’ve hacked together a fix with zip ties or tape and now you’d like a proper part instead.

Dedicated support for rental houses

Coming from the rental world myself, I know the pace of shooting days and the reality of gear constantly going in and out. DRK LAB can help standardise solutions, reduce last-minute hacks in the warehouse and extend the life of gear that still works, even if the manufacturer has moved on.

Got a specific need?

Tell me what’s going on: which camera, monitor or light it is, what part is missing and how the kit is used. From there we’ll see whether you need a new part, a variation of an existing one or if there’s a simpler route.
