There are a number of research facilities available to students in CEMS for their various scientific or engineering projects. Among these are the rapid prototyping facilities in Votey Hall and as well as various shared facilites throughout the UVM campus. 

Rapid Prototyping Facilities

Fabrication Lab (FabLab)

An incubator for ideas and a place to engage people’s imaginations, the UVM FabLab makes rapid-prototyping tools available to UVM students and faculty. The lab provides the opportunity for interaction in developing and testing innovative products and designs. We encourage projects that support research, innovation and creativity, and student work that is supported by coursework and professors. The FabLab houses a growing collection of rapid-prototyping tools that are available to the UVM and CEMS community. Located in Votey 242. More info.

Prototype Shop

The prototype shop is a resource for students and faculty needing assistance with prototyping, specifically metals machining. The shop houses two HURCO CNC's, OMAX Waterjet, mills, lathes, horizontal and vertical band saws, and a welding area. The shop is used by ME081 Mechanical Engineering Shop Experience students and is a resource for student projects and research labs. Located in Votey 125.
