USC CNI Imaging Core

Our services include new user training, scientific support, and collaboration for current users, as well services to industry and other external entities. A full-time technical staff supports the user group and their diverse research activities. CNI is governed by co-Directors and an Internal Advisory Committee. The shared instrumentation user facility houses major instrumentation, including electron microscopes, X-ray tools, and related instruments.

CHLA Imaging Core

The Cellular Imaging Core provides state-of-the-art equipment in microscopy and digital imaging to investigators at CHLA. Imaging technology in modern biological research is constantly undergoing enormous advances. The acquisition, processing, analysis, and storage of digital images are an important part of most biomedical research projects. The primary focus of the Core is technology transfer and provision of facilities for the acquisition and analysis of histological and cytological preparations.

USC Translational Imaging Center (TIC)

The technologies employed range from conventional light microscopy and laser scanning microscopy to optical coherence tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) microscopy. As these technologies are refined, they are made available to the members of the USC research community. Thus, the Translational Imaging Center serves dual, complementary roles as a research center and as a user facility.

Makerspaces

Makeplus

Makeplus allows its users to access free space and rent the power tools and equipment when needed. Users can also purchase private space and sign up for workshops to learn how to use various types of equipment. Makeplus has many common shop tools including table saws, drill presses, and sanders. In addition, they also offer fabrication services to cater to the customer’s needs.

LA Makerspace

As their website states, “Maker-Style education is dedicated to the idea that we learn best by creative doing. In the process, we learn how to learn.” The opportunity to allow kids to learn these skills is extremely important to LA Makerspace and they do so “by training people who aren’t experts to help kids learn things like robotics and coding, we can scale STEAM education quickly and efficiently.”

HexLab

This makerspace was founded to serve as a workshop where the community could access educational resources and tools to prototype. The public has access to 3D printing, CNC machines, laser cutting, and other hand tools. Hexlab also allows users to take classes like robotics and get access to private training without having a membership. They also provide various services such as product design assistance, engineering/CAD, 3D printer repair, cost effective manufacturing, and many more.

UMakers

They offer free classes and workshops to all their members (and they are usually privately instructed.) The members of UMakers have direct access to a mill, CNC router, 3D printers, laser cutters, and a vinyl cutter. When in need of assistance, UMakers also has a ‘Geek in Residence’ on deck to help. To those who are not interested in memberships, UMakers also offers provides 3D printing, laser/vinyl cutting, and CNC services by the hour.

The Cove

The lab includes 3D printers, laser-cutting machines, manual and automatic machining equipment and an extensive electronics station for building circuit boards. Lab users can also perform chemical post-processing, low-hazard prototyping, as well as adhesive and molding tasks in a small chemical area.

OC Makerspaces

Hand tools, laser cutting, an electronics station, and 3D printers are not the only services the OC Makerspace is known for: they also have a full molding and cast station. Moving inventors and student’s ideas forward is their fundamental goal. As illustrated on their website, “Inspired by the Maker movement, we are a community driven hub where students, entrepreneurs, inventors, artists, and innovators, connect on real and personally meaningful projects.”
