Tech Foundry
UC Davis Tech Foundry designs and manufactures devices to support research and solve problems. Research and development engineers collaborate with and support UC Davis faculty members, private companies and individuals to produce more than 500 projects and 2,500 objects each year across its locations at the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility in Davis and Aggie Square in Sacramento.
Expansion to Aggie Square

To meet the growing demand for Tech Foundry's services and strengthen UC Davis’ collaborative, translational, multidisciplinary research, the device development facility is expanding to a 7,500-square-foot makerspace at Aggie Square, the expansive innovation district the university will open in Sacramento in 2025.
The new space will feature cutting-edge machinery for device fabrication, from modern 3D printers and computer numerical control mills to belt sanders and drill presses.
