This laboratory is dedicated to support advancement of manufacturing research, manufacturing education that will influence, attract and develop the future manufacturing workforce. Today manufacturing is at a crucial crossroads. Changes in the way the world does business, global competition and our escalating technological capabilities are placing unprecedented demands on manufacturing. Unfortunately, as the worldwide demand for the manufacture of innovative high quality products and processes expands, there is a parallel decrease in an interested and prepared workforce in India that can be found in this rapidly changing environment.

  • The focus of the lab is on both process as well as system level manufacturing solutions.
  • The current research activities include manufacturing process and system simulation, process planning, production planning, manufacturability analysis, and nanomaterial processing.
  • At this lab we strive to continually acquire and intelligently apply resources to support the interest, advancement of manufacturing education.
  • The lab also supports the educational needs of evolving technology in traditional manufacturing disciplines.

Scope

Composite Laboratory

3D Printing is a name associated with a form of manufacturing called additive manufacturing. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printers don’t cut away, bend, or deform a raw stock of material into the desired shape. Instead they build up objects by selectively applying material in layers. This is done without the need for jigs, fixtures, dies, or molds. The additive process of 3D printing allows for the “free” fabrication of complex geometry.

Objectives

  • The 3D printer aims to facilitate learning by developing a technological advantage in various subject matter.
  • The goal of the 3D printer is to create a visual model to enhance the learning experience of the content being delivered.
  • Students will be able to manipulate the printer to create a product servicing multiple interdisciplinary objectives.

Scope

  • It is predicted by some additive manufacturing advocates that this technological development will change the nature of commerce, because end users will be able to do much of their own manufacturing rather than engaging in trade to buy products from other people and corporations.
  • 3D printers capable of outputting in colour and multiple materials already exist and will continue to improve to a point where functional (electronic) products will be able to be output.
  • With effects on energy use, waste reduction, customization, product availability, medicine, art, construction and sciences, 3D printing will change the manufacturing world
