To expedite the matchmaking process and initiate large-scale collaborative project activities between various research laboratories, the MMRI team is in the process of developing a searchable database of advanced materials testing equipment, measurement devices, forming machines and cutting tools that are accessible at both campuses of UBC, as well as at MMRI partner industries. Please visit back in the near future to take advantage of this database.
