−	The three core elements of kwartzlab are '''people, projects, tools'''. We've established the first two and now we are working hard to build out our capabilities through tool acquisition. Our plan is to equip the space with sufficient tools and materials so that we can '''go from idea to prototype in a matter of hours'''. Below is a non-exhaustive list of tools on our capabilities roadmap that directly support rapid prototyping.
