At CCCU we have specialist equipment across our University that can be used to help achieve your goals.
- 3D Handheld Scanner - Contributing to the preservation of history, by collecting delicate objects and fossils in 3D digital form.
- Laser Marking System - A permanent process that uses a beam of concentrated light to create a lasting mark on a surface.
- SLM Metal Printer - A 3D printing technique, which utilises a high power-density laser to fully melt and fuse metallic powders to produce near net-shape parts with near full density.
- 3D Printing machines – print plastic, ceramic and cellulose materials.
- Wilson VH1150 Hardness Tester - Evaluates material's properties, such as strength, ductility and wear resistance, and so helps you determine whether a material or material treatment is suitable for the purpose you require.
- Instron Tension and Compression Testing - Applies tensile force or compression to a material and measures the specimen's response to the stress.
- Fibre Laser Cutting Machine – A metal cutting machine which offers unparalleled speed and accuracy.
- Injection Moulding Machine - In the process of injection moulding, a thermoplastic polymer is heated above its melting point. This melt is mechanically injected, or pressed, into a mould that mimics the ultimate shape of the product that will be produced.
- Armfield computer controlled Subsonic Wind Tunnel – Able to support aerodynamic analysis of golf balls to fishing weights.
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) - Used for the examination and analysis of micro- and nanoparticle imaging characterisation of solid objects.
- Bench Top NMR - An analytical tool can help chemists and other scientists analyse a sample's molecular structure without destroying the sample.
- ICP-OES - an analytical technique that is used to identify the atomic composition of a sample.
- GC MS – An instrumental technique, comprising a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS), by which complex mixtures of chemicals may be separated, identified and quantified.
- LC MS - An analytical technique used for separation, identification, and quantification of both unknown and known compounds as well as to elucidate the structure and chemical properties of different molecules.
- Discrete Analyser - an automated chemical analyser in which the instrument performs tests on samples that are kept in discrete cuvettes.
- Confocal Microscope - a technique that uses lasers and fluorescence to create a three-dimensional image of a sample.
- fNIRS Brain Scanning System has been combined with Flow Cytometer - used to detect and analyse the chemical and physical characteristics of cells or particles fNIRS Brain Scanning System - a non-invasive brain imaging technique that measures blood oxygenation changes.
- Eye Tracker – Eye Link 1000 - helps observe and measure eye movements, pupil dilation, point of gaze, and blinking to see where subjects of a study focus their visual attention.
- Performance Capture - used to capture an actor's performance and translate into a computer-generated 3D character on screen. Can be used with a head-rig and camera for facial capture to create a full performance capture package.
- Ultimaker S3 3D Printer - a fused deposition modelling printer which can print up to 2 materials at once at a build volume of 230 x 190 x 200 mm.
- Microsoft Hololens 2 - a mixed reality head-mounted display developed and manufactured by Microsoft which can combine a simulated/virtual world with the real world (mixed reality) or add something virtual to the real, physical world (augmented reality).
- Metaquest 2 - a virtual reality headset. From multiplayer games to unique social experiences to joining up with friends at a live show or instructor-led workout, Meta Quest 2 provides new opportunities to meet and connect with others.
- Metquest 3 - a virtual reality headset that merges virtual elements seamlessly with your actual surroundings, turning your workspace into an exciting new playground.
- Wattbikes - an exercise bike designed to mimic road cycling while accurately recording power output in watts. Recording power output means cycling performance, technique and heart rate can be analysed and refined.
- Bod-Pod GS-X - assesses the make-up of your body by using your mass and volume to calculate your body density and body fat percentage. This will enable you to ascertain your current body fat percentage, and in-turn, your fat-free mass which includes muscle, water, bone, and internal organs.
- Gas Analysis System - allows an insight into how the body works aerobically. Amongst many other components of fitness, it allows is to assess just how fit you are (VO2max), where your thresholds are, and the intensity at which you burn the most fat.
