-The BioPACIFIC MIP **Additive Manufacturing Facility** (UCSB) includes resources for rapid prototyping, advanced manufacturing, soft lithography, and 3D printing. The facility focuses on designing, building, and maintaining custom 3D printing platforms tailored to specific user-defined applications. Featuring state-of-the-art 3D printing processes, the facility routinely fabricates complex structures from novel bio-derived monomers, exhibiting a diverse range of mechanical, transport, optical, and chemical properties.+The BioPACIFIC MIP **[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TobmWGGkcII|Additive Manufacturing Facility]]** (UCSB) includes resources for rapid prototyping, advanced manufacturing, soft lithography, and 3D printing.

 The BioPACIFIC MIP **Mechanical Characterization Platform** (UCSB) supports instrumentation for the structural, rheological, and mechanical characterization of materials, with a focus on high-throughput characterization. The available instrumentation includes an optical microscope with customized hardware and software, designed to serve as a first-in-class high-throughput automated microrheology tool for fluids and soft solids. Additionally, the facility is equipped with a high-throughput microindenter, which complements the microrheology tool by allowing for testing of materials much stiffer than possible with the microrheology tool alone. Furthermore, a versatile texture analyzer is available for linear and nonlinear mechanical measurements on solids.  The BioPACIFIC MIP **Mechanical Characterization Platform** (UCSB) supports instrumentation for the structural, rheological, and mechanical characterization of materials, with a focus on high-throughput characterization.
