Advanced Prototyping Center at Wright Lab
The Advanced Prototyping Center is a fabrication and design support facility to help Yale researchers with custom instrumentation.
About the core
At the Yale Wright Laboratory Advanced Prototyping Center (APC), our mission is to provide a fabrication facility and design support for custom instrumentation. We have designed instruments and parts for groups across campus. We also aim to help researchers develop design skills and educate them about modern prototyping techniques. The APC complements other research shops at Yale that provide traditional machining services and training.
Workshops
Wright Lab hosts regular workshops introducing capabilities and techniques for equipment found in the Advanced Prototyping Center (APC). Workshop times are posted on our event calendar.
For more information about the workshops, please contact James Nikkel, the Associate Director for Instrumentation and Education.
