We create products and solutions of systems and tools through Research and Innovation, Design and Engineering
and Digital Manufacturing.
the Lab
Our work approach is driven by the generation of knowledge and innovation regarding the advanced manufacturing of products, and it is focused on problem solving by creating customized and innovative solutions, from development to production.





Our advanced manufacturing laboratory emerged in 2016 as a result of a partnership between the University of Minho and Bosch Car Multimedia S.A, to support the development of new products and tools.
Based in Guimarães, DONE Lab is a unique laboratory in Portugal that brings together several state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies capable of ensuring the development and production of short series of products, production of experimental and functional prototypes, as well as customized assembly tools.
Mission
With a diversified field of expertise, DONE Lab is a supporter for industrial advancements and competitiveness in terms of organization and productivity, accelerating the launch of new solutions for products, systems and tools.
By being a source of critical knowledge, innovation and excellence, DONE Lab potentiates a growth not only in research and development for science and industrial applications, but also technology transfer, specialized training, and services production of tools and prototypes.


Vision
DONE Lab aims to create a new approach in terms of opportunities for innovation and expanded possibilities, with less constraints, taking another step towards a high-tech future.
DONE Lab aims to implement and share the innovative breakthroughs from its research and development for the advancement of the academic and scientific community, while also being a major support for the excellency of the industrial community.
