The relationship between Microlution, Inc., and the University of Illinois is an example of the productive synergy that can develop between a research University and a licensee. In 2005, the University of Illinois licensed the three-axis micro- and meso-scale machining apparatus technology to a startup company headed by Andrew Honegger and Andy Phillip. Microlution, Inc., refined and commercialized the technology their founders had developed during years of graduate research in the Illinois’ Machine Tools Research Lab.
