Located in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at UC San Diego, this large facility is home to both research and educational efforts. A graduate-level course on Instrument Design and Fabrication is taught within this space, utilizing National Instruments ELVIS II prototyping systems for electronics experiments and project testing. The Fabrication Facility is also capable of supporting the development of major research instrumentation, including a full machine shop with computerized numerical control (CNC) mill and lathe, wire-cutting electrical discharge machine (EDM), and much more. The Fabrication Facility is staffed by a full-time expert mechanic.
