MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES CENTER, TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT CENTER AND USER FACILITY The Manufacturing Technologies Center has been certified as a Technology Deployment Center and User Facility (TDC/UF) by the DOE. As such, our facilities, equipment, instrumentation, and scientific expertise are accessible to private entities as long as the programmatic needs of DOE are not comprised. As a TDC/UF our capabilities include the following: Mechanical: Rapid Prototyping, Virtual Manufacturing Applications System, Machining & Computer-Aided Manufacturing, Measurement & Calibration, Mechanical & Electronic Manufacturing Liaison. Electronics: Microelectronics: Advanced Packaging, Printed Circuits, Electronic Fabrication. Materials: Ceramics, Glass, Thin Film, Vacuum, & Brazing, Polymers, Adhesives & Composites, Process Analysis. These Mechanical, Electronic, and Materials process technologies within the Center are unique and clearly not readily available anywhere in the nation, particularly as a complete, synergistic and functional program. Process engineers are ready to give technical advice and work with DOE approved prospective Users. In addition, the Center has a number of technicians and tradespeople who possess extensive training and experience in operating sophisticated equipment in a number of disciplines. In the normal course of executing a project, the User will be on-site involved with the experiments and will conduct the actual work, where appropriate. In cases where extensive or specialized training is required to operate equipment, or when activities occur in parallel, the work will be performed by trained personnel under the direction of the User. The Center's traditional role as a service organization affords a special opportunity to take full advantage of laboratory wide support capabilities, in that Center personnel are already well accustomed to working across functional lines throughout Sandia.
