<p>Why do you need fab equipment? Are you talking about PCB fab stuff? Or are you talking about chip dye stuff? </p>
<p>If it is PCB stuff PCB Express does 4 day turn-around on 6 layers. We built a Hall-array electromagnetic imagining device last year (60 x 5000 resolution) for mapping the internal electromagnetic reactance of an induction motor (for Honeywell Aerospace). PCB Express turned out our parts in a few days and our resident electronics technician did a bunch of the micro-soldering work.</p>
<p>For other lab items that Mudd may not have, Pomona College has. Like Caltech, they’ve got a ton of money so we can always use their facilities if need be. </p>
<p>This isn’t the 80’s anymore. Most equipment is not too difficult to come by or processes get farmed out… that is unless your equipment is running a 32 nm dye process.</p>
