Our mission is to make our customer successful through our excellence in manufacturing technologies. We focus on manufacturing derived from Sandia's national security mission. We enhance our capabilities through collaborations with Sandia's Energy and Environment sector, other federal agencies, industry, and universities. We strive to deliver goods and services that consistently exceed customer expectations.
Manufacturing Science & Technology has been certified as a Technology Deployment Center and User Facility (TDC/UF) by the DOE. As such, our facilities, equipment, instrumentation, and scientific expertise are accessible to outside users as long as the programmatic needs of the DOE are not compromised.
As a TDC/UF our capabilities in mechanical, electronic, and materials processes within Manufacturing Science & Technology are unique and clearly not readily available anywhere in the nation, particularly as a complete, synergistic and functional program.
Staffed with process engineers, we are ready to give technical advice and work with approved prospective users. The Center also has a number of technicians and tradespeople who possess extensive training and experience in operating sophisticated equipment in a number of areas.
In the normal course of executing a project, the user will be on-site intricately involved with experiments and will conduct the actual work, where appropriate. In cases where extensive or specialized training is required to operate equipment, or when activities occur in parallel, the work will be performed by trained personnel under the direction of the user. The Center's traditional role as a service organization affords a special opportunity to take full advantage of laboratory wide support capabilities, in that Center personnel are already well accustomed to working across functional lines.
It is fully anticipated that users will often be able to complete projects in a single visit. Modern methods of communication are available to the user for saving on travel time and expense including: Internet, voice mail, FAX, video and voice conferencing.
You may access additional information about our Center via our Manufacturing Science and Technology Home page at: mfg.sandia.gov/.
Sandia's Internal Manufacturing Science and Technology Home page is only accessible to Sandia employees.
