The 10,000 sq. ft. COM-Lab facility is designed to be an optics manufacturing process development lab. Organizations that use our fabrication and metrology tools test concepts and produce prototypes as a first step prior to ramping up full-scale production. DPOC member organizations and their qualified technicians can rent time to utilize these tools and can also work with AmeriCOM’s trained technicians on the development of projects.

All project-specific material costs, such as raw materials and optical blanks, are charged at cost plus time spent by Tier 3 Labor on material procurement.
Overhead costs, including waste disposal, multi-project materials, and chemicals, are included in tool hourly rates. Project-specific materials may be provided by the customer.
Surcharges may be added based on custom tooling, hard materials increasing tool wear, hazardous materials requiring additional handling and waste disposal, and other circumstances that arise in any individual situation.
