About

The Basics
We are a metal fabricating laboratory that has an array of capabilities including milling, turning, sawing, CNC generation, and much more. We are able to take an idea and bring it to life. We encourage students, facility, and staff to stop by to learn more about how the machine shop can be of service to you!
 
 Machine it yourself!
*Students, faculty, and staff will be granted permission to utilize the machine shop upon completion of either the Undergraduate Training or Researcher Training course.   
Follow the “Training Courses” link to learn more about obtaining access to the shop.
 
We are a one stop shop for all your manufacturing needs. The machine shop staff can help you with design, feasibility, and the production of any component. We are happy to advise and assist you on your current project(s).   
 
Feel free to contact Keith Blackburn  (R&D Engineer) with questions.
