Facilities
3d printing/metrology lab
The 3D printing lab is home to cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology. Using this equipment, students and staff can print parts from a variety of materials, scan objects for reverse engineering, and inspect parts to check tolerances. The 3D Printing Lab also houses the Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals (CAMM), a center focused on additive metal manufacturing and its implementations in manufacturing.

Testing lab
The Advanced Manufacturing Center houses the University of Maine Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Hybrid Structures Laboratory and other facilities. The Hybrid Structures Lab is fully integrated within the AMC organization and provides materials testing capabilities ranging from small, intricate composite parts to large scale welded / fabricated components or other objects. The AMC also houses state of the art Environmental Chamber and Salt Spray Chamber systems.
- MTS 458 Universal Reaction Frame System
- MTS 810 Material Testing System
- Vibration Testing Systems
- CSZ Tundra Walk-In Climate Chamber
Design Lab
The AMC Design Lab is home to open work areas, “brainstorming” white boards, and a cluster of workstations featuring some of the most up to date hardware and engineering software systems on the market. The lab is most often utilized by students working on design and manufacturing projects, but is available for parties interested in using the resource. The lab provides an ideal environment for both individual and collaborative work on projects. Within this lab we have a multitude of tools at our expense including 6 state of the art computer terminals, Computer Aided Design packages (including SOLIDWORKS), and Computer Aided Machining packages.
