Lab Ready

Through trial and error, we have assembled a great group of shops that have proven they can provide great quality products at great prices with very reasonable lead times.

About Lab Ready

Created by engineers for engineers, Lab Ready was born from years of struggling to find a prototype supplier that satisfied the “three legs of the stool” (high quality, short lead time, low cost).

Our Founder

Charlie Barfield has worked in the orthopedic medical device industry since 2006. He began his career at Wright Medical in Memphis, TN where he worked on the manufacturing floor machining knee implants, in the Manufacturing Engineering department, and in the large joint engineering department where he rose to senior product development engineer within 4 years.
