We engineer ideas into real, printed objects.
8848 Labs is a venture of PATHAK & SON’S — a Nepal-based design and manufacturing studio specializing in high-quality 3D printing, product design, and precision manufacturing. We turn ideas into functional prototypes, personalized products, and production-ready parts.

From a spark of an idea to a finished part
A full additive-manufacturing studio under one roof — design, printing, and production support tailored to your project.
Custom 3D Printing
High-resolution FDM printing for one-off pieces, personalized products, and functional parts in a range of engineering-grade materials.
- Multiple materials & colors
- Fine-layer, high-detail output
- Single pieces to small batches
Rapid Prototyping
Fast, iterative prototypes that let you validate form, fit, and function before committing to production.
- Same-week iterations
- Functional test parts
- Design-for-manufacture feedback
Product Design
Thoughtful design that balances aesthetics, ergonomics, and manufacturability — from concept sketches to a print-ready product.
- Concept to production
- Ergonomic & aesthetic refinement
- Manufacturability built in
CAD Modeling
Precise parametric 3D models built to spec — ready for printing, machining, documentation, or further engineering.
- Parametric, editable models
- Print- & machine-ready files
- Technical drawings on request
Reverse Engineering
Recreate obsolete, broken, or undocumented parts as clean, accurate 3D models you can reproduce on demand.
- Recreate legacy parts
- Accurate remodeling
- Repair & replacement ready
Small Batch Manufacturing
Reliable low-volume production runs with consistent quality — ideal for startups, pilot runs, and niche products.
- Consistent batch quality
- Startup-friendly volumes
- Scalable to demand
Personalized Products
Custom gifts and keepsakes — nameplates, keychains, lithophanes and more, made unique to you.
- One-of-a-kind gifts
- Custom text & artwork
- Fast personalization
Products we love to make
Personalized gifts, decor, collectibles and functional parts — printed to order in the material that fits.
We don’t just print objects — we engineer possibilities.
Founded on a mechanical-engineering foundation, 8848 Labs pairs modern additive manufacturing with genuine technical judgment — so your part is not only printed, but printed right.
Engineering, not just printing
A mechanical-engineering foundation means better material choices, tolerances and outcomes.
Idea-to-object support
From concept and CAD to a finished, quality-checked part — we handle the whole journey.
Accessible & affordable
Advanced manufacturing priced for creators, students and growing businesses in Nepal.
Backed by PATHAK & SON’S
The trust and stability of an established family group behind every order.
Six clear steps from idea to delivery
A transparent process with a quality check on every part before it reaches you.
Contact
Tell us what you want to make. Share a sketch, an idea, or a reference — we’ll take it from there.
Upload Design
Send your 3D file (STL, OBJ, STEP) or let us design and model it from scratch.
Receive Quote
We recommend the right material and finish, then send a clear, itemized quote.
Printing
Your part is printed on calibrated machines with settings tuned to the job.
Quality Check
Every piece is inspected for accuracy, finish and strength before approval.
Delivery
We package and deliver your finished product — or have it ready for pickup.
Built for makers and businesses alike
Trusted by creators, startups and businesses
“They took my rough sketch and turned it into a working prototype in under a week. The engineering advice on material choice saved us a costly mistake.”
Bibek Shrestha
Founder, hardware startup
“The lithophane lamp I ordered as a gift was breathtaking — the detail when it lights up is unreal. Delivery was fast and the packaging was premium.”
Priya Karki
Home customer, Kathmandu
“We needed a discontinued part reverse-engineered and reprinted. 8848 Labs matched the original perfectly and printed it in a stronger material.”
