Mission Statement
Manufacturing Innovation Network Laboratory is to study foundational understanding of machining mechanics, develop scalable manufacturing technology, and advance innovatively current manufacturing technology through smart sustainable manufacturing.
About Our Lab
At the Manufacturing Innovation Network (MIN) Laboratory, our mission is to develop Appropriate Technology for Society (ATS) by advancing four key areas pertinent to advanced manufacturing – Ultra-Precision Machining (UPM), Sustainable Smart Manufacturing (SSM), Burr Minimization & Prevention (BMP) and Manufacturing for Design (MFD). We wish to leverage our knowledge in these four areas to further our understanding of material deformation during machining and develop novel technologies that help industries improve their process efficiencies, reduce downtime, energy consumption, and scraps and promote advanced manufacturing.
PRESM 2021 (International Symposium on PRecision Engineering and Sustainable Manufacturing)
The discipline of 'Precision Engineering' now becomes a trend embracing entire technologies beyond the sole field of engineering practice. In the midst of the stream of the '4th Industrial Revolution', which necessitates the application of sustainable and eco-friendly scientific technologies encompassing key words associated with the "Green" and "Smart", the roles of precision engineers are expected becoming more important than ever.
The PRESM 2021 will be prepared as a hybrid conference, that is, not only off-line face-to-face sessions at the venue but also on-line virtual conference. So, more researchers from all over the world can join and enjoy no matter where they are. We will do our utmost efforts to ensure safe and healthy face-to-face academic exchanges by observing the prevention measures against COVID-19.
NSF Industry-Academia Collaboration in Advanced Manufacturing Virtual Workshop
Manufacturing USA Institute representatives, manufacturers, and academic researchers will come together to identify current and future research and research infrastructural needs in advanced manufacturing.
With a focus on solving challenges through partnership, this 3-day workshop will also encourage multidisciplinary industry-academia collaboration, and highlight federal funding opportunities.
