Biodesign Collaboratory
Our Biodesign Collaboratory provides space to brainstorm, meet, create, and test. The Biodesign Program is headquartered in the James H. Clark Center. This space features hotel-like benches for short projects from students and faculty.
It includes:
- prototyping laboratory
- medical device materials
- brainstorming room
- open lab benches w/ project carts
We are partnering with the Product Realization Laboratory to provide a full-service prototyping capability to our students and staff. At the PRL, larger machines are available for large scale work, while in the Biodesign Collab prototyping studio smaller scale machines can be used.
Equipment
A number of pieces of equipment specifically geared towards prototyping medical devices area available in the Biodesign Collaboratory. The equipment includes:
- Nitinol Forming Station
- Catheter Making Equipment
- UV Curing Station for UV curing adhesives
- Drill Press
- Band Saw
- Grinder
- Dremmel
- Vulcanizer
- Electronic soldering equipment
- Microscope and lighted magnifying glass
- Large assortment of hand tools
We also have materials such as catheter tubing, nitinol, and other materials that can be used to create medical device prototypes. Additional material and equipment is also being acquired. See a complete inventory.
