Previous: Computer Aided Design
The Alpha_1 group and the Robotics and Sensing group have been
involved in a number of projects and case studies in
computer aided manufacturing. The Alpha_1 system manufacturing
interface enables the production of process plans and tool paths for manufacturing
parts for which there is an Alpha_1 CAD model. Alpha_1 enables users
to design using manufacturing features.
The interaction of both groups has been facilitated by the
creation of the interdisciplinary advanced manufacturing laboratory
(AML). The reverse engineering project, the sensing for advanced
manufacturing (SAM) project and the URK/UPE project have been successful
products of this continuous interaction.
A number of papers and videos describing a number of those
interdisciplinary projects are available for the public and
can be accessed from this document.
