An innovation sandbox empowering dreamers and doers to transform imaginative concepts into real-world solutions.
Where Ideas Take Shape
SparkLab is UNBC’s product creation lab — a space where students, researchers, and community members transform concepts into tangible prototypes. We bridge the gap between imagination and innovation.
With access to 3D printers, electronics workstations, CAD software, and expert mentorship, we provide everything needed to take an idea from sketch to reality.
The piece fit well into the record player, and it moves the record player arm like the old broken piece was meant to do!
The tremor simulation device is a tool that allows for the testing of a tremor reduction glove used by people living with essential tremor or Parkinson’s. It’s not a commercial product so when it broke it’s very difficult to replace. The team at Spark Lab was able to redesign the clamp and get the system operational in no time.
The project exceeded our expectations with its precision and robustness. The final models integrate seamlessly into our existing systems, demonstrating outstanding design and engineering skills. The UNBC team's responsiveness and technical expertise were crucial in achieving such a successful outcome.
Wow! Thank you so much for making these. Having the tube holders for pH indicators helps to organize the labs.
The clamp is extremely effective in my compression test setup. It makes it possible to hold additional external LVDTs in both the normal and lateral directions, perfectly accommodating the chain for lateral measurements. The installation process is straightforward. It is both economical and practical, fully meeting the requirements for my uniaxial compression tests.
