MIME Machining Lab Capabilities

Projects completed in the MIME Machining and Product Realization Laboratory range from undergraduate course assignments to faculty research tools. Items may be fabricated from a variety of materials including plastics, composites, ceramics, and metals. The following Machining Lab equipment facilitates this work:

• 9 engine lathes
• 10 vertical milling machines
• 4 CNC vertical milling machine centers (one 3-axis, three 4-axis)
• 2 CNC turning (lathe) centers
• EDM burning machine
• MIG and TIG welders
• Sheet metal fabrication tooling
• Dimension BST Rapid Prototyping Machine

The Lab employs Solid Works and Mastercam X as its solid modeling and computer-aided manufacturing platforms, respectively.
