Equipment services and research collaborations

Welcome collaborators in UF and beyond to explore the unprecedented fabrication flexibility of metal additive manufacturing and test the strength and fatigue performance.

Renishaw AM 400

The Renishaw AM400 is an advanced metal additive manufacturing system that uses laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology to produce high-quality, complex metal components. It features a 400 W fiber laser with exceptional beam quality for precise and repeatable builds. It supports a wide range of metal powders— including AlSi10Mg, CoCr, In625, In718, stainless steel 316L, and Ti6Al4V —making it suitable for applications in aerospace, medical, automotive, and research.

MTS 810 material test system

The MTS 810 is a versatile servohydraulic test system widely used for mechanical testing of materials and components under static and dynamic loading. With load capacities typically up to 100 kN, it is ideal for fatigue, fracture, and tensile/compression testing across metals, composites, and other engineering materials. Featuring high stiffness, precise force and displacement control, and compatibility with a range of grips and environmental chambers, the MTS 810 is a reliable platform for both research and industrial applications where accurate characterization of material behavior is essential.
