Campus Technology Resources

The center is a state-of-the-art media facility with equipment and spaces established to educate and empower the Washington University community to tell their stories through media.

Supports studio and coursework assignments, as well as independent research projects conducted by students and faculty. Beyond the fabricating equipment and tools typically found in wood and metal shops, the School’s equipment includes laser cutters, three-axis CNC routers, and plastic 3-D printers.

The Chemistry Department Machine Shop on the Danforth campus is a fully-equipped and professionally staffed machine shop with computer controlled milling machines and computer controlled lathe. We have precision lathes, programmable indexing head and rotary table, sheet metal and wood-working shops, ironworker and welders.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) provides a list of core facilities to help researchers with services, expertise, or equipment.

Provides support in research data management, data curation, data literacy, data analysis, data visualization, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

AR/VR headsets and computer workstations are available at the DaVE. DaVE is a studio space designed for 3D exploration where digital 3D data can be captured via photogrammetry or structured light scanning.

For direct clinical applications only, the center at the BJC Institute of Health on the Washington University medical campus offers a wide range of 3D printing services to researchers and clinicians in the medical community at Washington University and in the Midwest region.

This group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science is a resource for students and faculty at Washington University whose studies or research involve understanding material behavior.

The lab at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology offers unique research and educational experiences in using 3-D Visualization, 3-D modeling, and 3-D printing technologies for multiple medical and surgical applications.

The Neurotech Hub within the Department of Neuroscience engages with the community and provides scientific, technological, or professional resources. Our shop contains tooling from precision laser cutters to high-resolution 3D printers that will accelerate in-house ideation, prototyping, and one-of-a-kind applications. Membership is offered to departments, research labs, and individual WashU users.

The Office of Technology Management/Tech Transfer pairs cutting-edge Washington University in St. Louis research with expertise to create a pipeline of opportunities to benefit society.
