Yes, they do make antimatter in labs - often accidentally; when two sufficiently high-energy photons collide, they produce a particle and its matching antiparticle. However, it's made in single particle quantities with the standard Version right next to it, and so (with modern methods), antimatter is both difficult to capture and nearly impossible to produce in any meaningful quantity.
