The evolving landscape of Industrial Design education requires a balance between theoretical instruction and hands-on experience with manufacturing processes and relevant materials. However, many traditional teaching methods do not provide sufficient opportunities for students to engage directly with fabrication and material manipulation, limiting their ability to develop practical skills essential for the industry. The lack of integration between conceptual design and real-world manufacturing techniques creates a gap in industry readiness. To address this challenge, this study explores the integration of small-scale countertop sized fabrication tools and machines within the lecture venues to create an immersive Studio-Based Learning (SBL) environment.
