Manufacturing Lab



Director: Prof. Rob Speckert
Locations:
Middletown Campus: Thesken Hall, Room 08
Hamilton Campus: Phelps Hall, Room 102
The Manufacturing Laboratories in Engineering Technology provide opportunities for students to demonstrate and apply the concepts of machining (turning, milling, drilling, etc.), computer numerical control (CNC) programming, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, robotics, automation/system integration, and quality control/SPC. Students utilize the lab equipment to manufacture parts and systems for their manufacturing classes, projects for other classes, and senior design projects. Students gain hands-on experience with manual machining, CNC programming, robotics programming, PLC programming and system integration. The main equipment in these labs are:
- Lathes, mills, drills, cut-off saws, and bench grinders
- CNC machines
- 3D printers
- Robots
- PLCs
- Conveyors
- Various measurement devices
- Material testing equipment
- Complete set of hand tools
