  4. University of Nebraska at Omaha Core Services

UNO Core Facilities help professionals in the University of Nebraska system, the local area, and from outside the state to advance their research or other projects.

Machining and Prototyping Core

The Machining and Prototyping Core provides design, prototype, manufacture, maintenance and repair, and installation services on of a wide range of devices and instrumentation, and involves the use of three major facilities within the University of Nebraska at Omaha Biomechanics Research Building: 1. Machine Shop, 2. Electronics Workshop, and 3. 3D Printing Laboratory.

1. Machine Shop

The 500 square foot Machine Shop is equipped with both traditional and advanced machinery that allows for the construction and fabrication of woods, metals, plastics, and unique composite materials. Equipment in this space includes:

  • A wide assortment of hand tools
  • A traditional knee mill
  • Metal lathe
  • 3-Axis CNC milling machine
  • Vertical band saw
  • Table saw
  • Compound miter saw
  • Drill press
  • Belt/disc sander
  • Bench grinder
  • Laser cutter
  • High-resolution 3D scanner

In addition to the tooling, several design workstations running the Autodesk Suite, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Solidworks are used by staff and student engineering technicians. The machine shop and adjacent washroom (8’ x 15’) are also designed for typical prosthetics casting with a plaster modification area with grated, recessed flooring, and an oversized fume hood for carbon fiber lamination.

2. Electronics Workshop

The Electronics Prototyping Workshop has a well-maintained inventory of prototyping supplies that allow for a drastic reduction in lead time for projects requiring complex electrical system components that include Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and embedded systems. This 200 square foot workshop contains an electrostatic dissipative workstation equipped with:

  • An Oscilloscope
  • Digital Power Supply
  • Soldering Station
  • Reflow Oven
  • Dedicated Programming Workstation
  • ACNC PCB Milling Machine

3. 3D Printing Laboratory

The 3D printing Laboratory is a 300-square foot room equipped with:

  • An industrial PolyJet 3D printer
  • Two semi-industrial 3D printers
  • Stereolithography liquid resin printer
  • Eight desktop 3D printers
  • Four high-resolution dual extrusion printers
  • A large format printing workbench
  • One selective laser sintering printer
  • A new direct metal laser sintering machine that adds aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel alloys to our wide range of material options

Movement Analysis (MOVAN) Core

The Movement Analysis Core provides resources, education, advisement, and other services related to the analysis of human movement. The Core maintains equipment for techniques such as:

  • Motion capture
  • Dynamometry
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Electroencephalography
  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy
  • Virtual reality
  • High-speed digital video

This is all contained within the 55,000 sq ft Biomechanics Research Building. For more information please visit the Movement Analysis Core page.


Nonlinear Analysis (NONAN) Core

The Nonlinear Analysis Core provides resources and services necessary for the innovative analysis of human movement. These methods go beyond averages by looking at the time-varying characteristics of a time signal. The Core provides access to a multitude of nonlinear analysis tools, assistance in experimental design, data processing, quality assurance, interpretation, and dissemination.

The Core is also actively exploring and validating new techniques and algorithms for future use. In addition to our nonlinear methods, standard analyses can also be performed.
