Centre Capability
Overview: The Science Technology Centre (STC) is a one stop machine shop for all your design and custom fabrication needs. From prototyping to final production runs, we can produce one – or one thousand – individual parts or complete assemblies to meet our clients’ needs. Utilizing state of the art CAD/CAM software, we’ve designed and manufactured everything from complex devices to individual screws; our parts have been installed underground as part of CERN and the SNO lab, and sent into space with NASA! We work closely with our clients, offering personalized service and expert advice throughout all stages of the production process, from design conception all the way through to final installation. Initial consultations are free, and we always provide an estimate prior to starting production.
