CAMT - Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

Poland: Dolnośląskie

Overview

Research areas and competencies of CAMT are within the most recent development, manufacturing and informatics systems trends known not only in Poland. A broad extent of carried out research programmes and implementation projects assures a constant technological improvement and enhances the scientific and research potential of CAMT – over the centre's existence (since 2000) it has grown from 16 to 76 employees (2 full professors, 3 associate professors, 28 assistant professors, 23 postgraduates and 23 scientific-research workers, paid of commissions and projects). This trend is highly conducive to establishing a close cooperation with industry and enables to carry out research projects in national and international associations – several projects within the frame of FP6/FP7/H2020 and commissioned directly from industry, chiefly German, were carried out. Unprecedented so far international contacts, involving staff exchange (dozens of people a year, some of whom come to the Centre from abroad), create… Technological part of CAMT is organized in the form of five laboratories:

LASER – laser technology laboratory – to perform research of processes and laser technologies, mainly: welding, cladding, laser surface treatment, micromachining, precision cutting, laser beam quality monitoring.

BadMat – material testing laboratory – to perform research in the field of inspection and control of materials and mechanical relating to the identification of important factors affecting technological process (macro- and micro material properties, mechanical properties, surface properties, chemical composition, etc.).

LRPD – rapid prototyping laboratory – rapid prototyping (RP) and tools for prototype series (RT) technologies development, which are used in the early stages of production development, which helps reduce time and cost associated with the introduction of the product on the market.

LRE - reverse engineering laboratory (accreditation PCA No. AB 969) – digitizing of physical objects to the three…. CAMT provides as the University and Research Centre both training and R&D in areas actively investigated in CAMT which may be classified as follows:

1. Product design and development
a.  Computer Aided technologies: CAD, CAM, CAE, Virtual Prototyping
b. Modelling, simulation and optimisation in mechanical engineering
c. Product Lifecycle Management, Production Management
d. Knowledge Management
e. Standardisation in design, product development and manufacturing

2.  Materials engineering
a. New materials (alloys, composites, smart materials, magnetic materials, powders of metals, ceramics and polymers, etc.)
b. Materials technologies (micro-metallurgy, composite manufacturing, 3D printing, etc.)
