Researches Advanced Manufacturing and Automation Group

Advanced Manufacturing and Automation Group



The Advanced Manufacturing and Automation group focus on state-of-the-art rapid prototyping, machining and fabrication facilities. The group has two main streams dealing with mechanical and electrical parts’ manufacturing. It boasts of having a shared facility “Robot Maker Lab” between all the NCRA Labs which is acting as a centralized robot manufacturing facility to support NCRA Labs, start-ups, academia and local industry. The main research themes include: design for additive manufacturing; model-based control of machining processes; single and multi-layer PCB design and manufacturing, integrated product-process design and optimization; remanufacturing and product recovery; sustainable and resource-efficient manufacturing; simulation and modelling techniques to address manufacturing challenges; and flexible, rapidly responsive production machines for customized manufacturing.
