Advanced Manufacturing Processes Laboratory (AMP)
|
Welcome to the Advanced Manufacturing Processes Laboratory (AMP) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Our research focuses on improving existing and developing new manufacturing processes, in order to fabricate precision components with high-quality surface finish, geometric accuracy, and high process efficiency. The research is applied in aerospace, optics, bio-medicine, and electronics industries. We conduct both theoretical and experimental investigations to understand the fundamental process mechanism , and apply the results to enhance the manufacturing performance. |
| Specific areas include: hybrid additive manufacturing – machining processes; machining of composite materials; shear localization in chip formation in machining; surface texturing; vibration assisted machining; surface integrity analyses, etc. |
