Overview

A proven partner to the national labs.

Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, SLAC, Brookhaven and UC Berkeley come to IMT for experimental apparatus, beamline components, vacuum vessels and detector housings for research in physics, materials science and energy.

This hardware often has no second source and no margin for error. We read complex drawings, work directly with principal investigators and project engineers, machine exotic alloys with full traceability, and hold critical tolerances on parts that span several feet.

Programs include Sandia · LLNL · SLAC · Brookhaven · UC Berkeley
