73% of lab leaders are worried about lab efficiency.

Visualize and Refine Before You Build

Long before you build, you can use our tools to visualize, compare, and price out different layouts and setups to see which work best. Our IdeaBuilder design software helps you design and refine concepts, and our CAD libraries make it easy to incorporate 80/20 systems into your project plans. We also offer in-house design expertise if you want to talk about custom options or need to talk through unique scenarios.

Engineered for Longevity

Depending on what they’re made of, T-slot profiles can rust, oxidize, and corrode. This compromises their durability. Because 80/20 systems are made from aluminum, they don’t have these same performance issues. They don’t require ongoing maintenance, and they’re easy to clean and disinfect. This makes the systems perfect for sensitive lab and cleanroom applications that must comply with specific standards.

Solutions Scaled to Your Space

We offer custom aluminum framing for labs that ranges from light to heavy-duty profiles and accessories. Whether you’re setting up a new bench or expanding an entire bay, our options will work for you. 80/20 components let you build whatever you need without overbuilding or underbuilding your space.
