ABOUT THE CENTRE OF LABORATORIES

The Centre of Laboratories at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Design MIDF LC was established in 2014 using the joint infrastructure of the laboratories of the Faculty of Mechanics and the Faculty of Design and Technologies.

Science demonstration laboratories for studies, training and research: Materials Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Thermal Power, Transport Engineering, Mechatronics, Production Engineering laboratories.

Research, experimental and technological development laboratories: Defence Technologies, Technological Systems Diagnostics, Geometric Measurements, Reverse Engineering and 3D Prototyping, Properties and Structures of Materials Research laboratories.

At the initiative of enterprises “Mitutoyo” and “Gespa”, one of the most modern laboratories of geometric measurement in Lithuania was established in 2019. The laboratory is equipped with modern contemporary measurement equipment: CNC vision measuring system, CNC CMM measuring system, surface roughness/contour measuring system formtracer, altimeter, hardness testers and other measurement equipment.

The main objectives of the Centre of Laboratories: ensure technical supply of the required laboratory equipment and materials to research and studies, initiate, organise and implement R&D activities, conduct the outsourced research and experimental development, innovation works and services.
