	Shop Hours (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.)


The MRL Machine Shop is a well-equipped shop with the capability of making research apparatus to order. The shop has special equipment such as EDM, CNC Traveling Wire Machines, Vapor Blaster, and CNC Milling Machine.

The EDM Machines are used to machine metals and samples that cannot be done by conventional machines. Machines that are machined with the EDM Machine must conduct electricity.

The Vapor Blaster is a machine that uses compressed air, class beads and water to clean parts and finished products.
