Engineering Machine Shop
The Engineering Machine Shop (EMS) is a modern version of the classic machine shop that includes computer-literate staff, machines, and methods alongside traditional manufacturing equipment and procedures. They offer Advanced additive printing of parts by optimizing resolution, slicing, materials, and build orientation with the use of commercial grade 3D printers. EMS provides concept development, project design, and prototyping services for University of Iowa students, faculty, researchers, and staff. The EMS staff strengths are computer-aided design and manufacturing skills that support the college teaching and research missions, as well as providing services for administrative and research users across campus. As students get the necessary training, they have access to the tools and equipment in the facility.
