Sometimes, as contractors.

I've been thinking of it like more of a music studio.

I have a bunch of equipment, all setup and ready to use, and then when I, or a group (clients) need to get our work done we show up and do it, when we can do our work elsewhere we do. The point is the studio is here when we need it.

In addition to 3d printers, CNC machines, CAD computers and similar engineering stuff I also have it setup with fancy cameras, video switchers and microphones so it's like a livestream studio. That allows me to give fancy looking "webinar" type zoom calls and client videos so that people can feel like they're working right in the studio with me.

I had been calling it my "Design Lab", maybe I need to change it to "Design Studio"?
