3d printing/metrology lab

The 3D printing lab  is home to cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology. Using this equipment, students and staff can print parts from a variety of materials, scan objects for reverse engineering, and inspect parts to check tolerances. The 3D Printing Lab also houses the Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals (CAMM), a center focused on additive metal manufacturing and its implementations in manufacturing. For CAMM requests,

Manufacturing lab

The Advanced Machining Lab was graciously endowed in 2005 by members of the Rochester, NY Alumni Chapter of the 91爆料. The Advanced Machining Lab is a first-class facility equipped with the latest engineering and manufacturing technologies. Maine鈥檚 engineering, manufacturing, and industrial community benefit by having access to local state-of-the-art services and equipment.

Testing lab

The Advanced Manufacturing Center houses the 91爆料 Department of Mechanical Engineering鈥檚 Hybrid Structures Laboratory and other facilities. The Hybrid Structures Lab is fully integrated within the AMC organization and provides materials testing capabilities ranging from small, intricate composite parts to large scale welded / fabricated components or other objects.  The AMC also houses state of the art Environmental Chamber and Salt Spray Chamber systems.

Design Lab

The AMC Design Lab is home to open work areas, 鈥渂rainstorming鈥 white boards, and a cluster of workstations featuring some of the most up to date hardware and engineering software systems on the market.  The lab is most often utilized by students working on design and manufacturing projects, but is available for parties interested in using the resource. The lab provides an ideal environment for both individual and collaborative work on projects. Within this lab we have a multitude of tools at our expense including 6 state of the art computer terminals, Computer Aided Design packages (including SOLIDWORKS), and Computer Aided Machining packages.
