Our facility features a 30 sq. ft. walk-in curing oven and a 6 sq. ft. lab oven, allowing us to cure prepreg composite materials with precision. These ovens transform soft, pliable prepregs into rigid, high-strength components with superior structural integrity.

Our Plastics department features a BabyPlast injection molding machine paired with a Mortto dryer, serving as the introductory step for small-production molding. Additionally, students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard Nissei 50-ton and Boy 22-ton machines, working with both analog and digital controls.

We provide high-efficiency chillers designed specifically to cool injection molds. Our systems use internal cooling channels to rapidly dissipate the heat generated by molten plastics, protecting your equipment and reducing production downtime.

We utilize an industrial-grade Formech vacuum former as a cornerstone of our Plastics Manufacturing curriculum. This equipment allows for the fast, cost-effective creation of complex three-dimensional shapes.

Our lab features the Filabot Airpath, a specialized cooling system that uses forced air to stabilize filament as it’s extruded. This system works in tandem with the Filabot Spooler to provide easier setups and greater precision for common materials like ABS and PLA. It is especially critical for research involving high-temperature polymers, where controlled cooling is necessary before spooling. With integrated speed monitoring, students and researchers can maintain the perfect consistency for every batch.

Our lab is equipped with multiple rotational machines to support a variety of manufacturing techniques. We feature the Power Lab #812
 for high-quality hot rotational molding, as well as the BJB CPE 615 Rotational Casting Machine, specifically designed for processing two-part plastics like urethane.

Our lab features a Carver Inc. compression molding press, engineered for high-precision material processing. This system is equipped with advanced heating and cooling platens managed by a programmable digital controller. With independent thermal loops for each platen and customizable cooling programs, students can achieve the exact cooling rates required for professional-grade results.

Our lab is equipped with multiple Airwolf 3D printers, allowing students to seamlessly transition from digital design to physical reality. These machines translate complex CAD data into high-precision, three-dimensional parts, providing a cornerstone for our additive manufacturing curriculum.

Our Stuart melting point apparatus features digital temperature selection, measurement, and display, ensuring precise results and eliminating the need for a traditional thermometer.
