Capabilities & Facilities

CTD’s 27,000-sq. ft. research and development, prototype fabrication, and testing facilities are located in Lafayette, Colorado, just minutes from downtown Boulder and Denver.  This unique combination of engineering, laboratories, manufacturing, and testing facilities was custom designed for efficient material development, testing of advanced materials and components, and the design, development, and manufacturing of prototypes as well as pilot scale fabrication of new products.

CTD has a wide range of specialized equipment for the development, fabrication and testing of polymers, ceramic and ceramic matrix composite materials, and the analysis of advanced components incorporating these materials. Mechanical, electrical, thermal, and other physical testing can be performed at temperatures from 4 K to 500 K. Click here to view a list of facilities and equipment at CTD.
