RAPH'S LAB
Where Ideas Become Reality
Welcome to Raph's Lab
This is Raphael Murillo's workshop archive — a living record of prototypes, failed prints, sketches, and experiments from the mechanical engineering labs at De La Salle University Manila.
Every iteration, test, and mistake documented here represents the messy, iterative reality of building physical systems. This is where ideas become tangible.
