Facilities

Driving Directions

During the summer of 1998, Nu-Tek moved its facilities from the Bata Complex in Belcamp, MD to the HEAT Center, a modern manufacturing facility in Aberdeen, MD about 30 minutes North of Baltimore. Nu-Tek currently leases 12,000 square feet of manufacturing space in the HEAT Center. This facility houses our entire operation, including the following divisions:

• Engineering and Design, Mechanical and Optical
• Metal Machine Shop
• Glass Machine Shop
• Ceramic and Glass Roughing Section
• Single Point Diamond Turning
• Polishing: Metal, Glass, and Ceramic
• Optical Testing
• Optical Coatings
• Assemblies

Anticipating the need for additional space to accommodate increased assembly and light production work, an additional 3,000 to 6,000 square feet has been reserved for Nu-Tek in an adjoining bay. As more space is needed, we can expand to adjacent buildings.

Software Tools

To assist our optical and mechanical design and analysis, Nu-Tek engineers utilize a number of software tools, including:

• AutoCAD 2000
