Frontier Tech Lab Information

Big ideas need more than encouragement—they need tools, talent, and time to take shape. At the Frontier Tech Lab, we turn early-stage concepts into reality by providing fast, affordable access to advanced prototyping, fabrication, and design services—with hands-on learning embedded in every project. Housed within Nebraska Innovation Studio - the University of Nebraska’s flagship makerspace - our team blends professional expertise with student talent to deliver high-quality solutions in product development, additive manufacturing, CNC machining, 3D scanning, rendering, electronics prototyping, and more. Whether you're refining a prototype, testing a concept, or building toward scale, the Frontier Tech Lab is your partner in innovation. We’re not a job shop or walk-in service—but we’re happy to connect you with local resources if that’s what you need. Instead, the Frontier Tech Lab exists to empower Nebraska's innovation ecosystem by providing advanced capabilities typically outsourced out-of-state or overseas. To that end, we prioritize projects that offer learning value, play to our strengths, and help elevate the region's capacity to innovate. By connecting Nebraska’s boldest ideas with world-class tools and talent, the Frontier Tech Lab helps fuel economic growth, expand access to advanced technology, and build what’s next—for the university, the region, and beyond.
