Creare is active in development and application of advanced materials processing and component fabrication techniques, both as end products for our clients and as means to build components and devices for our project needs. Examples of our results include:

• Precision electric discharge machining centers to produce heat exchanger and miniature turbomachinery components
• Furnace development for single crystal growth of cadmium zinc telluride
• Fabrication methods for high-frequency ultrasound transducers using vapor deposited films
• A laser micromachining facility for production of capillary evaporators
• Processes and equipment for superplastic forming of precision waveguides
• Methods to compact and tailor the pore size in porous and foamed metals
• Development and application of CFD software for modeling of chemical vapor deposition and etching
• Compact 5,000 ton press for precision stamping of heat exchanger plates
• Sputtered film processing techniques for rechargeable lithium batteries
• Magnetically-steered, electrochemical drilling of tungsten rods for nuclear fuel reprocessing

Our work blends our strength in fluid flow and heat transfer, experience in hardware design, and innovative ideas in fabrication operations. Our services range from analytical support to the complete design, construction, and testing of prototype equipment. We work across technologies ranging from thin film processing for electronics to precision stamping and forming.
