A new facility and a new model of doing research.

Our new $35 million facility opened in January 2007. Initial funding of $7.34 million was provided by the Canada Foundation for Innovation. 4D LABS offers a model that is unique in Canada, where researchers from several disciplines have open access to leading edge analytical and fabrication equipment in one place.

Take an overview tour of our facility.
