RSC Workshop

The Workshop facility has been formed to provide high level technical support for research laboratories and projects, instrumentation and general infrastructure within the Research School of Chemistry and the Teaching facilities.

Our team consists of highly skilled, innovative engineering trade technicians.  We work closely with a broad range of people who are directly or indirectly involved in School’s programs and interact with academics, students and staff from both ANU and other Australian institutions who seek the expertise and skills of our team. Our expertise includes:

Electronics and Electrical - Precision electronic circuit design, circuit board production, maintenance and calibration, instrument design and modification, consultation, research and development, Laser and optics design and repair, purchase and supply of electronic components and materials. The group specialises in the development of innovative solutions to the technical challenges posed by research activities, and endeavours to provide professionally engineered products and solutions built to industry standards.To underpin these capabilities the group maintains a range of engineering and technical facilities, including electronic CAD workstations, production equipment and test and measurement instrumentation all within a neat workshop facility.

Mechanical Engineering, Design and Construction - The team provide a wide range of technical support for mechanical design and manufacture, assembly and installation of experimental laboratory apparatus and supporting infrastructure to aid the schools in their pursuit of academic research and teaching goals. Technical challenges are the Joint workshops specialty. The group has a proven track record in providing high quality solutions to the difficult problems faced in the research and development fields. Ongoing development of staff skills and expansion of equipment has empowered the facility to carry out a broad range of mechanical engineering processes with both common and exotic materials.  To underpin these capabilities the group maintains a range of engineering and technical facilities, including mechanical CAD workstations, 3D FDM printing, test and measurement instrumentation, precision metal working machines, heavy fabrication and welding facilities.  Some services include; high tolerance manufacturing of components for scientific instrumentation and experimentation, scientific equipment maintenance, instrument fault diagnosis repair and modification, consultation, instrumentation design, research and development. Purchase and supply of unique mechanical components and exotic materials.
