The Instrumentation and Model Facility (IMF) takes people's ideas and turns them into functional prototypes and custom ideas.
The Instrumentation and Model Facility (IMF) turns your ideas into custom instruments, integrated systems, prototypes, precision parts, and accurate models. Our custom design and fabrication services enable your organization to conduct world class research, achieve rapid product development, or prototype parts and assemblies using innovative rapid manufacturing techniques. IMF engineers and techni
cians employ a holistic systems view of your design challenges with a consultative approach while utilizing broad technical expertise in mechanical, electrical, optical, and software programming disciplines. They work in partnership with researchers, product development engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs to design innovative instruments suited to your application, research need, or market. Depending on your requirements, we can fabricate a single custom part or instrument, conduct a small volume production run, or prototype models, parts, or assemblies using our new Polyjet 3D printing system. For over forty years, IMF has collaborated with researchers at UVM and other universities, hospitals, and government organizations as well as innovators at commercial enterprises in science, technology, research, manufacturing, engineering, and product development. This includes entrepreneurial companies supported by the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies, innovative companies looking to enhance Vermont’s economic future, and advanced research organizations worldwide.

Printing a human kidney
Surgeon Anthony Atala demonstrates an early-stage experiment that could someday solve the organ-donor problem: a 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney. Using similar technology, Dr. Atala's young patient Luke Massella received an engineered bladder 10 years ago; we meet...
