Thayer School Machine Shop

... we have created a world !!

Student working in Machine ShopThayer School's Machine Shop is an instructional workshop serving students, researchers, and faculty at Thayer School. Our job is to teach shop users to become comfortable and competent in a workshop environment. Thayer School's Machine Shop supports research. We work with Dartmouth scientists, engineers, and students to get their devices built right.

The mission of the Thayer Machine Shop is to teach the "doing" side of an engineering education, so we operate engineering workshops to provide maximum resources, maximum instruction, and maximum performance.

 

 

Facilities and Amenities

  • Machine Shop
    The machine shop teaches the doing side of an engineering education. We've assembled a formidable array of powerful tools and we've gathered an energetic staff to teach you how to build whatever you imagine. You can cut it, weld it, punch it, mold it, cast it, machine it, form it, or lay it up in our shop. Come give us a challenge – and we'll give you an education. More...

  • Couch Lab
    Couch Lab is a large space for undergraduate students to study, use machines, and do projects. Students can do construction, architecture, and electronics projects. More...

  • Stock Room
    The best way for the machine shop to function properly is to have a well-organized shop floor. Part of this can be accomplished by storing our equipment efficiently. Even though it is not where most of the action at the machine shop is, it is an integral part of how the tools and equipment are handled here. More...

  • CAD Lab
    The CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Lab is a place where students learn the critical aspects of product/industrial design. Students are provided with computers and teaching assistants in the CAD Lab. More...
