The Product Realization Labs, headed by Prof. Dave Beach, are a unique resource for students, staff and faculty who desire to turn their designs into hardware. Facilities include CNC machining, CAD, injection molding, forging, casting, Lasercam cutting, and model shop. The Lab maintains a sizeable staff, headed by Craig Milroy, of teaching assistants and volunteer coaches to help students in design courses choose and master the fabrication techniques most appropriate for their designs.
Emphasis is on craftsmanship and attention to design.
