Use AUT's research facilities and equipment
Many of our modern research facilities and equipment can be used by external researchers – you can run your own testing or development programme, and we can work with you to determine the right equipment for your needs and provide training to use it.
We love technology, and know how to use it – it's in our name. You can partner with us to use technology not readily available in the commercial world: perhaps your NPD could benefit from our motion capture technology, or maybe you want to access our rotary and linear reciprocating tribometers, or you want to trial 3D printing before committing to invest. We can provide access to the latest technology, and the expertise to make the most of it.
3D Printing Lab
Based at our City Campus, AUT's 3D Printing Lab combines hardware and software technologies as well as a laser cutter.
AUT Roche Diagnostics Laboratory
A training lab for our biomedical and medical laboratory students, you can access state-of-the-art machines and equipment for scientific testing in clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, haematology and immunology.
Motion Capture Lab
The Motion Capture Lab offers facilities for body, facial and object capture using industry leading technology.
Scanning Electron Microscope
The SEM images a sample by using a beam of high-energy electrons instead of light waves. It offers ultra-high res images and magnifications of up to 800,000 times.
Tribology and Surface Engineering Laboratory
The first research lab of its kind in New Zealand, the Tribology and Surface Engineering Laboratory has a range of modern test instruments that can be used by external researchers.
