Laconia 1993 Mills Industries Laconia AavidThermalloy, Laconia, NH (‘95, ’02) “We entered the new market area of heat pipes through a NHIRC grant by working with UNH chemical engineering professor to study the corrosion and aging to improve the reliability of these heat pipes. UNH had equipment not available at Aavid and the expertise needed to develop a predictive aging model. Aavid officials estimated this market to produce between $500,000 and $1 million within the following year, and add about eight new jobs.” ~ Craig Wood, CEO Albany Engineered Composites, Inc., Rochester, NH (‘99, ’01, ‘09, ‘10) “According to AEC, the company can now employ the computational approach developed and validated in the project to determine whether new fiber architectures will lead to microcracking with certain resin types. This virtual prototyping approach helps reducing cost and design turnaround time” ~ Igor Tsukrov, Principal Investigator Did you know… Albany Engineered Composites (‘99, ’01, ‘09, ‘10) Almost 20% of the salaried employees at AEC’s Rochester, NH facility are UNH graduates and a majority of them hold engineering degrees. Presby Environmental (‘01) is an innovative environmental organization that engineers new technology to change the way the world approaches wastewater treatment. Today the company is working at the cutting edge of water pollution control to help protect and preserve our most precious natural resources.

The instrument is used for teaching one on my classes, has produced results for three journal papers, and educated several students. Additionally, Turbocam donated a vibratory polisher for sample preparation to us. We were very grateful for that. It is currently at the University Instrumentation Center (UIC). ~ Marko Knezevic, Principal Investigator 2KR Systems, LLC Barrington, NH (’14) “The grant allowed us to make progress on a major innovation that we were unlikely to otherwise achieve.” ~ Chris Dundorf, President Did you know... Turbocam International (‘00,‘06,’14,’16) is collaborating with UNH to evaluate the possibility of replacing the traditional technology of casting by a novel additive manufacturing. Introducing this new cutting edge technology, called direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), requires making sure that the performance of the parts they make for their aerospace, industrial, and automotive customers continues to satisfy all performance and certification criteria.
