We've got a 20"x12" 60W laser cutter and an Ultimaker 2 in house.
The pack itself is a GoRuck Echo.
Documenting and publishing our work is essential so, to make shooting prototypes as easy as possible, I have a Foldio2 portable light tent set up on one of my work desks.

Design
If a design is exclusively going to be laser cut I find putting it together in Illustrator to be simpler than Solidworks, especially for making reference marks, etching decorative elements, and making repeated hole patterns.
