About 13Labs

13Labs is a technology innovation collective working at the intersection of engineering, immersive media, and digital heritage. With over three decades of experience spanning fine art sculpture and digital technologies, we specialise in working with complex scan data, capturing, modelling, and shaping it into precise, multidimensional visualisations.

Visualisation is at the core of our practice. We approach data as a material that can be refined and sculpted, transforming raw point clouds and high-resolution scans into structured, navigable, and meaningful forms. Whether dealing with sub-millimetre heritage detail, robotic process simulations, or digital twins of built environments, we make data tangible and usable for decision-making, design, and preservation.

Our work spans robotics, haptics, advanced visualisation, and immersive XR. From commissioning robotic milling systems and developing precision workflows to building interactive digital twins and designing data-rich environments, 13Labs partners with industry, research organisations, and cultural institutions to deliver sustainable and technically robust solutions.

At the heart of 13Labs is a belief that innovation emerges through integration, of craft and engineering, material and data, tradition and advanced technology. By combining artistic sensitivity with rigorous technical methods, we create outcomes that are both functionally precise and experientially powerful.

Interested in working together or just curious as to whether my bespoke workflows can empower next level heritage preservation for you? Don’t hesitate to drop me a message.
