Where to order experiment setups?

[grit]

Hello all,

Recently I need to do a positioning-related experiment. Unfortunately the off-the-shelf experiment setups I found cannot fulfill one or more than one of our requirements on the accuracy/price/material etc. Therefore, I wonder if anyone could recommend some machine shops or factories, etc. that I can order any experiment setups from?

It would be best if the shop/factory can listen to the functions/specs that I'd like the setup to have, then they propose to me some possible designs to choose from.

Thank you so much for any input!

Best regards

As a fellow scientist, I can definitely understand your frustration with finding off-the-shelf experiment setups that meet all of your requirements. In situations like this, it may be best to reach out to custom machine shops or factories that specialize in creating custom experimental setups.

One option is to contact universities or research institutions in your area that have their own machine shops. They may be able to create a custom setup for you or refer you to a reputable machine shop that they have worked with in the past.

You can also search for machine shops or factories online that have experience in creating custom experimental setups. Make sure to thoroughly research their capabilities and past projects to ensure they have the expertise and equipment needed for your specific experiment.

When contacting these shops or factories, be sure to clearly communicate your requirements and desired specifications for the experiment setup. This will allow them to propose designs that meet your needs and potentially offer suggestions for improvements or cost-saving measures.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a suitable solution for your experiment. Custom setups may be more expensive, but the accuracy and functionality they provide can be invaluable for your research. Keep us updated on your progress and any insights you gain along the way.
