Laser Etching

Mission

At the Yale Wright Laboratory Advanced Prototyping Center (APC), our mission is to provide an advanced fabrication facility and design support for custom instrumentation within the Yale community. We also aim to help researchers develop design skills and educate them about modern prototyping techniques. The APC complements other research shops at Yale that provide traditional machining services and training.  The APC is part of Yale’s instrumentation initiative and the future Advanced Instrumentation Development Center (AIDC).
