Materials, Manufacturing, Testing, and Evaluation Facility (MMTEF)

Materials Manufacturing, Testing, and Evaluation Facility (MMTEF)

The Materials Manufacturing, Testing, and Evaluation Facility (MMTEF) at Louisiana State University consists of a 6,000 square-foot facility capable of mechanical testing and non-destructive evaluation of materials, replication-based micro- and nano-fabrication, thin-film/coating manufacturing, and alloy powder synthesis. The MMTEF is a founding member of the Central Users Facilities (CUF) of the Consortium for Innovation in Materials and Manufacturing, a cooperative agreement funded by the National Science Foundation and the LA Board of Regents. In the meanwhile please contact Mark Brennan (mbrennan@lsu.edu) if you require more information.
