Engineering. Digital Design. Fabrication. Robotics. Education.
Ideas engineered into reality.
K-Smitty Labs combines engineering, technology and hands-on design to create custom products, business websites, prototypes, robotics systems and technical learning solutions.
What we do
Four divisions, one problem-solving lab
K-Smitty Labs doesn't sell one thing. It solves problems — with whichever combination of design, fabrication, electronics, software or teaching the job actually calls for.

Featured project
Six-axis robotic arm — designed, printed, wired and programmed in-house
V1 is a working prototype: a 3D-printed six-axis arm with a fixed gripper claw, servo driven and controlled by an Arduino Uno R3. It exists because one project needed CAD, mechanical design, printing, electronics, controls and code at the same time — which is exactly what this lab is built for.
How we work
A clear path from idea to finished result
Same honest process whether it's a replacement part, a prototype, a website, or a classroom lab.
02
Free review
I assess feasibility, scope, and whether I'm actually the right fit — at no cost.
03
Custom quote
A clear proposal with what's included, before you commit to anything.
04
Build & revise
Design previews, prototypes, or website drafts with included revision rounds.
05
Approval
Nothing ships or launches until you've signed off on it.
06
Delivery & support
Parts produced and shipped, or your site launched and cared for.

Web & Digital
Modern websites for businesses that deserve a better online presence
No website, an outdated one, or a site that falls apart on a phone? K-Smitty Labs builds and redesigns clean, fast, mobile-first websites for local and small businesses — contractors, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, churches, retailers and service companies. Custom sites start around $500, with final pricing based on the size and scope of your project.
In development
Educational robotics & technical curriculum
These are honest works in progress — not products shipping today. Follow along or join the interest list and you'll hear the moment they're real.
Prototype / in development
Classroom robotics systems
Three- and six-axis servo arms, grippers, scoop and electromagnet end effectors, and automated stations — designed with classroom use in mind, built on the working V1 platform.

Labs, curriculum & instructor resources
Arduino, circuit analysis, motors and controls, PLCs, VFDs, sensors and mechatronics — hands-on technical material written by someone who has taught it.
Education & curriculumWhy K-Smitty Labs
Small shop. Serious engineering.
Real engineering, not just output
Parts start as parametric CAD with tolerances and load paths considered. Websites start with how your customers actually find and contact you.
Clear, honest process
Free review, written scope, and a custom quote before anything is charged. No surprise invoices, no vague deliverables.
Built to be used
Functional parts survive real loads. Websites load fast on a phone in a truck. Practical always beats flashy.
One place, several disciplines
Mechanical, electrical, software and education under one roof — so the solution isn't limited by the tools someone happens to own.

Patriotic USA Coaster Set
“It's pretty good. The threads on mine feel a bit loose and chunky. I'm relatively new to printing, so I will put some of that on me. It's a fun little fidget to spin and play with though.”
