Microsystems Hub
A high-tech machine shop for micro- and nano-scale technology fabrication
About us
Our clients
For SME's and academics alike, access to high-level cleanrooms, micro/nanotechnology equipment, and knowledgeable staff to assist with prototyping is rare - and expensive. An affordable answer is right here in Calgary.
A unique resource
We are one of the only two open-access facilities in Alberta, the only one in Calgary, and of about 20 in the country. The Microsystems Hub in the Schulich School of Engineering has $8 million in specialized equipment for micro- and nano-fabrication and characterization.
What we do
Opened in 2005, the Microsystems Hub has supported micro/nanotechnology prototyping for over 300 clients in academia and industry. As an open-access facility, we provide cost-effective, low-volume, specialized research and development services.
