1,600 square feet of proof-of-concept space, open to engineers, makers, students, and teams working on what’s next. No cost. No contract. No sterile demo cells. Bring the problem. We’ll bring the tools.
Most proof-of-concept work happens in conversations and slide decks. Lehnen Lab is where it happens in physical space.
Real components. Real partner technology. Real Lehnen engineers working alongside you. Built so you can de-risk your project before you commit to it, or discover what’s possible before you even know the question to ask.
Experiment with industry-leading technology before investing in a comprehensive solution. Rapid prototyping, our machine shop, 3D printing, and access to cutting-edge partner components. Leave with a developed concept you can bring back to your team.
Real-world access to our partners’ technology, with no sterile demo cells. Visitors see how components from multiple manufacturers can work together to solve their specific problem, with the end-to-end view that independent assessments cannot provide.
Open to students, teachers, and learners who need space, equipment, and mentorship that they may not have access to elsewhere. Home to ongoing programs with Keene State College and a growing roster of partner institutions.
Seminars, webinars, in-person trainings, product demos, and proof-of-concept exercises. Direct access to industry experts from our partner companies. Switched from Allen Bradley to Beckhoff? Want a one-on-one with a vision system expert? Schedule it.
You are scoping a new system, evaluating components, or facing a process change. The Lab is where you test without committing, with direct access to Lehnen’s engineers and partner experts.
You are looking for hands-on time with technology your classroom cannot provide. The Lab is open to students, teachers, and learners with programs like Keene State College’s SPDI and Computer Programming tracks.
You are building content, running a training, or demonstrating new technology. The Lab is a venue for partners and customers to host workshops, demos, and proof-of-concept work.
Our partners are industry-leading automation and components manufacturers. Their technology is available in the Lab for evaluation, testing, and prototyping at no charge to visitors.







Use the Lab to de-risk your project before you commit. Prototype with industry-leading technology, collaborate with our engineers, and leave with a developed concept your team can act on.
Free workshops, trainings, and Lunch & Learns hosted by our technology partners and industry experts. Open to engineers, operators, students, and anyone curious about what’s happening in industrial automation.
