You need it. We can build it.

Scientific programs from all over the world rely on our services to build and repair instrumentation for use on every imaginable platform. We work alongside science teams to create innovative engineering solutions and then turn them into reality with our machine shop's advanced fabrication services. We've built everything from ocean-going systems to radars to tapered aircraft inlets and even satellite instruments.

NCAR also supports three specialized laboratory facilities that evaluate and calibrate commercial sensors, prototype instruments, and environmental testing: 

• EOL Calibration Laboratory can simulate pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and a black body source.
• NCAR Vacuum Tunnel Facility is a class 10,000 clean room and a scattered light test chamber.
• ACOM's laboratory-based chambers focus on gas-phase and aerosol processes.
