Experimental Tools for Research and Education
CI Labs is the applied engineering and hardware division of CI Tech (CIT). Our role is developing the physical tools, components, and systems that scientists, educators, and engineers use in their work.
Three activity areas define CI Labs: optical hardware products for laboratory use, scientific educational kits for optics and mechanics instruction, and custom optical and mechanical system engineering for clients requiring tailored solutions.
Grounded in the same scientific rigor and engineering culture as the broader CIT group, CI Labs brings lab-grade precision to practical applications — from university lecture rooms to industrial photonics test stations.
Optical Hardware Products
Mounts, rails, breadboards, and beam path components for lab and industrial setups.
Scientific Educational Kits
Wave optics, holography, interferometry, and mechanics kits for secondary and university education.
Custom Optical Engineering
Bespoke optical and mechanical systems for research, testing, and industry.
Engineering Capabilities
An engineering team combining optical and mechanical expertise with hands-on system building experience across hardware products, educational systems, and custom solutions.
Optical System Design & Simulation
Ray tracing, beam propagation, and optical system optimization for research and industrial applications.
Hardware Integration & Assembly
Precision optomechanical assembly, alignment, and integration of optical components into functional systems.
Educational Product Development
Curriculum-aligned educational kit design — structured experiments for secondary and university physics courses.
Custom System Delivery & Support
Client-facing delivery, system documentation, operator training, and post-installation support.
Mechanical Design & Fabrication
Design and fabrication of custom optomechanical components for applications outside standard catalog offerings.
Laboratory Facilities
CI Labs operates laboratory and workshop facilities in Bogotá, Colombia. Our spaces support optical hardware assembly, mechanical fabrication, system integration, and educational product testing.
- Precision optical assembly room — stable, clean assembly environment
- Mechanics workshop — machining, fabrication, and fitting
- Optical bench space — testing and validation of assembled systems
- Component inspection — dimensional and optical quality checks
- Educational kit assembly and post-delivery support station
