Staff from the design office and the workshop provides technical assistance to design and built custom instrumentation. Pieces are realised in close coordination with the research groups to meet faculty needs.
Considerable technical expertise is to be underlined, as the capacity to weld down to 0.2 mm, and to conceive and realize extremely complex pieces, in particular cryostats.
Please find below devices recently developed by the team :
A light-weight Faraday cell with high resonance frequencies
A pumped 4He cryostat for a high-q microwave cavity
The workshop is staffed with technicians from the department, one technician from LPA and three technicians from LKB. The welding shop is staffed with one assistant engineer from the department. Four engineers constitute the design office. One engineer, head of the group, manages the complex workflow of the entire platform.

The design office works in an integrated Catia (CAD/CAM) and MasterCam (CAM) environment and is strongly involved with finite-element modeling using Comsol software. Its state-of-the-art large-format printers are used throughout the department.
