LabsCubed Began with a Simple Belief: Materials Can Change the World
We started LabsCubed because we saw something worth changing: the people developing tomorrow's materials were spending too much of today testing them by hand. We believe lab automation can give laboratories back that time, so they can focus on learning, improving, and creating. Because when materials move forward, the world moves with them.
How LabsCubed Began
The Journey Begins
LabsCubed began with a firsthand experience: years of repetitive, manual material testing revealed how much time laboratories could lose to the process. We saw an opportunity to change that, to make testing simpler and more automated, so the people developing tomorrow's materials could spend more time innovating.
We Listened Before We Built
We didn't start by building a machine. We started by listening. Across laboratories and conversations with industry professionals, we saw the same frustration: valuable time spent repeating manual testing. It became clear that the future wasn't about asking laboratories to work harder, but about building smarter ways to work.
CubeOne: Automated Rubber Tensile Testing Made Simple
CubeOne marked our first major step toward automated materials testing—and a new way of approaching rubber tensile testing. Designed around the people who use it, CubeOne takes repetitive work off the technician's hands, automating everything from smart gripping and sample measurement to testing and data collection. The result is a simpler, more consistent testing process that gives laboratories more time to focus on the work that matters.
Innovation Earns Recognition
Our work on CubeOne earned top recognition at the PLAST-EX and Advanced Design & Manufacturing Expo competition. More than an award, it was an early validation of what we were building: a simpler, more automated approach to material testing, designed around the people who use it.
CubeOne Makes Its Mark
Our first full-production CubeOne machines reached customers in North America, and the response was a major success. Many of the professionals who helped shape our understanding of the industry in the early days became our first customers, bringing CubeOne into their laboratories and turning our vision for automated rubber tensile testing into reality.
Making Room to Grow
CubeOne's growing success gave LabsCubed a reason to grow with it. We moved into a larger facility to expand our production, strengthen our capabilities, and make room for everything we were building next.
CubeOne Gets Even Better
We didn't stop at building CubeOne—we kept improving it. Major updates in 2022 increased its capacity to up to 12 specimens while helping laboratories recover up to 85% of lab time and improve data consistency by 40%. With a proven 12–24 month ROI, CubeOne continued to turn automation into measurable value for the laboratory.
Building on Success: Introducing CubeTen
After years of refining CubeOne and earning the trust of leading rubber manufacturers, we were ready to take the next step. In 2024, we introduced CubeTen and expanded our automated testing capabilities into plastics, bringing the same focus on simplicity, efficiency, and intelligent automation to a much broader materials market. It was more than a new product—it was the next chapter in our vision for smarter testing laboratories.
Taking LabsCubed Global
LabsCubed is entering a new chapter: taking automated materials testing beyond North America and into laboratories around the world. With CubeOne and CubeTen now reaching laboratories across Europe and East Asia through our partners in Germany, Italy, and Japan, we're seeing our vision travel further than ever before. As more laboratories turn to automation, LabsCubed is building the technology to help them move forward.
Building the Autonomous Lab
We started LabsCubed to make testing simpler. Today, we're building toward something much bigger: laboratories that can operate with greater autonomy. By combining robotics, AI-powered vision, predictive maintenance, and conversational data analytics, we're turning automated testing into an intelligent workflow—one that can run, learn, and give teams more time to focus on what comes next.
