AutoCAD is a 3D computer-assisted design software by Autodesk that’s created for manufacturing planning, product designing, building designing, construction, and civil engineering. More than making 3D models, AutoCAD is also used for drafts, documents, and 2D drawings. The 2D drawing, annotation features, and drafting allow users to customize texts, add dimension styles, tie in data from Microsoft Excel tables and spreadsheets to the drawings, and use dynamic blocks. On the side of 3D modeling and drawing, users can apply lighting and add materials to the models to produce real-life renditions and appearances. Edges, shading, and lighting can also be controlled for the models in AutoCAD. The app also allows users to look into the interior of their 3D creations. AutoCAD allows them to take data from PDF files to work with teammates as drawings and models are reviewed. Lastly, interface customization is also possible to make model editing faster and to organize the AutoCAD tools for easier access.
Various components of the basic AutoCAD screen are menu bar, drawing area, several toolbars, command window, model and layout tabs and status bar. The CAD model is designed or generated first and then it gets transferred in the suitable format to the Snapmaker to get the final product.
Main features of AutoCAD are:
- 3D View
- Revisions and modifications

Biosciences and Bioengineering Tools
1. UV transilluminator
UV transilluminators are used in molecular biology laboratories to view DNA or RNA that has been separated by electrophoresis through an agarose gel. Exposing the stained gel to a UV light source causes the DNA to fluoresce and become visible. These instruments are useful for viewing samples to size a PCR product, purify DNA segments after a restriction enzyme digest, quantify DNA, or verify RNA integrity after extraction.
2. Mini-sub gel system
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded into wells (indentations) at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.
3. Western Blot Equipment
Blotting equipment includes all components required for protein transfer from gel to membrane and subsequent membrane processing. Western blotting is a widely used technique by research and clinical labs to detect proteins with their specific antibody. Blots require an apparatus, or blotter to transfer the gel to membrane under wet, dry or semi-dry conditions. Transfer protocol depends on type of protein, gel thickness, and type of membrane.
4. Laminar Flow Unit
A laminar flow cabinet or tissue culture hood is a carefully enclosed bench designed to prevent contamination of semiconductor wafers, biological samples, or any particle sensitive materials. Air is drawn through a HEPA filter and blown in a very smooth, laminar flow towards the user.
Laminar flow hoods are ventilation devices used within the lab to provide an aseptic work area that helps protect both the laboratory personnel and the materials they are working with.
5. Vertical Autoclave
An autoclave is a machine that uses steam under pressure to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on items that are placed inside a pressure vessel. The items are heated to an appropriate sterilization temperature for a given amount of time.
6. UV spectrophotometer

Digital colorimeters are widely used across different work areas including, environmental testing, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical analysis, and biochemistry. In particular, a portable colorimeter can be used for on-site environmental analyses. Similar to spectrophotometers, laboratory colorimeters are used to determine the concentration of a known solute in a sample since the concentration of a solute is proportional to the absorbance. The wavelength filter used is very important since the wavelength of light that is transmitted by the colorimeter has to be same as that absorbed by the sample.
13. Incubator shaker
An incubator is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the CO2 and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside.
An incubator shaker (or thermal shaker) can be considered a mix of an incubator and a shaker. It has an ability to shake while maintaining optimal conditions for incubating microbes or DNA replications.
14. Cooling centrifuge
Refrigerated centrifuge works on the concept of sedimentation principle by holding up the sample tubes with a capacity of 2ml, 10ml and 50ml in rotation around a fixed axis. In this, the centripetal force causes the denser substances to separate out along the radial direction in the bottom of the centrifuge tube.
A centrifuge is a laboratory device that is used for the separation of fluids, gas or liquid, based on density for RNA, DNA and protein isolation. Separation is achieved by spinning a vessel containing material at high speed; the centrifugal force pushes heavier materials to the outside of the vessel.

Ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz) are usually used, leading to the process also being known as ultrasonication or ultra-sonication.
Sonication is a process in which sound waves are used to agitate particles in solution. Such disruptions can be used to mix solutions, speed the dissolution of a solid into a liquid (like sugar into water), and remove dissolved gas from liquids.
17. Hot air oven
Hot air ovens are electrical devices which use dry heat to sterilize. They were originally developed by Pasteur. Generally, they use a thermostat to control the temperature. Their double walled insulation keeps the heat in and conserves energy, the inner layer being a poor conductor and outer layer being metallic.
Laboratory ovens are ovens for high-forced volume thermal convection applications. These ovens generally provide uniform temperatures throughout. Process applications for laboratory ovens can be for annealing, die-bond curing, drying, Polyimide baking, sterilizing, and other industrial laboratory functions.
