The Scientific Instrument Shop is here to provide our expertise in engineering, fabrication, and prototyping. Our shop will turn any idea into reality so that research isn't confined to only the imagination. We do it by knowing our customer's parameters, constraints, budget, and timing.

We have capabilities in milling, turning, welding, soldering, drilling, tapping, wood work, and electronic prototyping. We work with all sorts of plastics and with many types of metals, such as stainless steel, mild steel, copper, brass, aluminum, and cast iron. We work with researchers to determine the best design for their experiments.
