If you want to customize your laboratory equipment, you can start by designing your own test tube rack. Use Tinkercad to create your design and print it in 3D.

Software
3D cad Tinkercad
Tinkercad is an online 3D design software. You have pre-design pieces to help you create your designs. This software let you add texts, symbols or customize your pieces.
