Machine Shop
The Carleton Laboratory has a fully outfitted metalworking machine shop capable of machining parts, fittings, and testing enclosures in steel, non-ferrous metals, plexiglass, and wood. The Carleton Machine Shop’s machine park is state of the art, either of the latest generation or recently rebuilt and modernized.
The machine shop is open for use by undergraduate and graduate students performing research, supported by the lab’s own senior lab technician.
