Facility Description: 

Our instrument shop is manned by two highly skilled instrument makers with decades of experience working in the university and research environments. The shop equipment is kept up to date as evidenced by the recent addition of a CNC mill and CNC lathe. The instrument makers interact with students, staff, and faculty on a daily basis providing instruction on how to design physically realizable devices and how to correctly document design changes. In this sense it is an instructional facility as well as a shop facility.
