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.
