Machine Workshop

Workshop & Services


Shop Technician: Ed

Location: North of Science Complex and Environmental Sciences Building on Traffic Circle. Science Workshop, Electronic Shop, Rm 103
(Building with the inverted roof)

The machine shop provides design consultation, precision machining, welding, fitting and assembly, mainly on prototypes, custom-designed parts and repair or modification of existing equipment including instrument and vacuum pump repair.

We work with a broad range of metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, tool steel, copper and custom alloys as well as various other materials such as Teflon, Delrin, graphite, acrylic and polycarbonate.

Our strength is our many years of experience in a jobbing shop environment both here at the university and also out in industry that enables us to provide quality machining as well as recommendations for design changes as needed during a project.

Work within the shop is done on a cost-recovery basis of time plus materials with our main customers being the Sciences and the broader university community.
