  • Internal Service Request

    Please use this form for Tech Foundry services when directly affiliated with UC

  • NOTICE: WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LAUNCHING OUR NEW AGGIE SQUARE LOCATION IN SACRAMENTO, WHICH WILL RESULT IN LONGER-THAN-USUAL TURNAROUND TIMES.

    FURTHER, BECAUSE OF THIS EXPANSION, WE ARE LIMITING THE NUMBER OF NEW DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WE ARE ENGAGED IN. 

    WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE DURING THIS EXCITING TRANSITION.

  • Thanks for selecting the UC Davis Tech Foundry (formerly TEAM) for help with your project!  This form ensures that we capture info about your project so that we can best serve you. It should take a few minutes to populate, but please contact the lab manager if you have any questions or concerns (contact towards the end of this submission process, under "Service Rates and Help").

    We aim to make this process as low-friction as possible.  Feedback on this process is always welcome!

    You may use this form to solicit a request for quote, to authorize us to begin your project immediately, or to begin whilst constrained to a defined budget.

    Not a problem - As an "external client," please use this form instead:

    FAQ: What is an external client, and what is the consequence of being billed as such?

    An external client is simply the name we assign to those who wish to use the lab's services, but aren't paying from a research account, or department account. 

    Per requirement from the University, you will be subject to external rates (higher), and will not be permitted hands-on access to any equipment.  

  • Please contact your account manager, PI, or Instructor for help with this region of the form.  You are looking for either an "Aggie Enterprise GL Chart String" or an "Aggie Enterprise PPM Chart String." 

    If charging a GL chart string (Format: 0000-00000-0000000-000000-00-000-0000000000-000000-0000-000000-000000), then we need the following:

    Entity
    Fund
    Department
    Purpose
    Account
    Project
    Program
    Activity

     

    If charging a PPM chart string (Format: 0000000000-000000-0000000-000000), then we need the following:

    Project
    Task
    Organization
    Expenditure Type

     

    DO NOT SUBMIT A REQUEST WITHOUT CORRECT ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS.

    "TBD," A person's name, or a Student/Employee ID number are NOT acceptable inputs.

    If you are unable to obtain an Aggie Enterprise Account String, you'll need to submit a request as an External Client.  Note that external clients are subject to additional processing, and increased rates (per university requirement)

  • Service Details:

  • Notes, disclosures, and expectations:

    1. Most printing and laser cutting requests take ~2 days, but more extensive requsts generally take longer, and depend on facility workload. 

    2. BME requests, and clinically urgent requests will always take priorty.

  • Please use the field below to declare all relevant structures, and their use case. 

    Example:

    "3D BOLUS_ADAPT" = Translucent Bolus Material

    "Bol_Localization" = Embeded Alignment Marker, Black

  • You've selected "not sure" for "services in this request."  No worries - we'll review your request submission, and get back to you if necessary. 

  • A very important note on our PCB manufacturing services:

    Our boards are very simple dual-layer, bare-copper, with no thru-hole plating.  Further, we do not fully remove all copper patches unless specifically asked for (we simply isolate adjacent conductive traces).  

    These boards are appropriate for cases where you need rapid-turnaround, low-fidelity boards (6mil traces would be our suggested minimum).  A more traditinoal board-house will furnish a far superior board, at a lower cost (at the cost of turndaround time).  

  • General Information on Laser-Cutting:
