The workshop is housed in a dedicated, purpose built facility (ESB) close to Lab2. Trained technical staff support access to a range of manually operated and fully automated multi-axis machine tools.

User accessible facilities include additive and subtractive manufacturing, manual machine tools, hand tools, laser engravers laser cutters and 3D printing systems.

Our nanofabrication facilities are centered around our two Class 1000 cleanrooms, which are equipped for fabrication of samples on the micro- and nanoscale. Using the state of the art deposition, (e-beam) lithography, additive/subtractive manufacturing, etching tools and focused ion beams, our expert staff can help you to achieve your goals. Our cleanrooms are located in Labs 2 and 5.

Comprehensive characterization of samples and devices can be carried out on the various instruments available in, and adjacent to the cleanrooms. This also includes the optical, structural and physical characterization systems located in Lab 4.

Whether it's x-ray diffraction, scanning electron or laser microscopy, atomic force microscopy or Raman/IR/X-ray spectroscopy, don't hesitate to reach out to our team of specialists.

Our Electronics team provides expert support for all your circuit design and electronics needs. From fabricating printed circuit boards (PCBs) and assembling device prototypes to signal analysis, diagnostics, and consultation, we’re here to help you tackle challenges and turn your ideas into reality.

The Engineering Section at OIST provides guidance on setting up laser systems and ensuring they meet safety compliance standards across all campus facilities and laboratories.

In compliance with OIST Health and Safety, we offer practical laser safety training for users and individuals accessing laser-controlled areas. In collaboration with the OIST Laser Safety Advisory Committee, we are dedicated to improving laser safety for all laser users, whether they are OIST employees, students, or visiting researchers.
