The scope of our research encompasses manufacturing processes based fundamentally on controlled removal of material (subtractive processes). A progressive scientific methodology is applied so that precision components of defined surface integrity can be produced to meet critical design requirements economically.
Our programme of research includes projects on such core manufacturing processes as machining, grinding, polishing and (laser) surface treatment of engineering materials. Monitoring and control of these processes are included in the research brief. The Centre is involved in national, European and global projects with companies from the automobile, aerospace, semiconductor and precision engineering industries. These include: Daimler-Chrysler, Intel, Element 6, Sifco, Sandvik and ABS Pumps Ltd.
