Advanced Manufacturing

Our goal is to develop innovative and customized advanced manufacturing process. We seek to study manufacturing process parameters and analysing their effects on material behaviour and properties by establish a phenomenological relationship between process parameters, microstructure and material properties. Our core competences are:

Metal Additive Manufacturing
Welding
Friction Stir Processing
Composites Machining
Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing in Different Materials
Automation and Robotics

Some current Research Challenges AM researchers are addressing:

What is the feasibility of WAAM in extraterrestrial conditions (Moon and Mars) considering factors like temperature, atmospheric composition, pressure, and gravity?
How to integrate functional particles through Friction Stir Processing (FSP)?
How to improve Friction Rolling Additive Manufacturing (FRAM)?
How to use advanced AI algorithms to enable real-time process control and optimization of WAAM process?
How data fusion from various sensors, such as surface electromyography, inertial measurement units, depth sensors, and infrared cameras, can be used to improve interaction and collaboration between humans and robots in advanced manufacturing systems?
