Fabrication

The Division of Physical Sciences Machine Shop has extensive experience fabricating special equipment for UCLA researchers. We routinely design and build scientific apparatus used in research involving ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), high temperature, high pressure, cryogenics, and laser research. We have fabricated equipment installed in labs across campus and in National and International Laboratories and observatories.

Design

We also offer design and support engineering, reverse engineering, suggestions for improvement and/or cost reduction, and production feasibility studies.

Student Shop

We also maintain and supervise a student machine shop and student instructional program. Students are properly trainned in the use of lathes, mills, drill presses, and sheet metal equipment. Following successful completion of the course, Students are free to use the shop to support their research.
