The lab studies how to draw out the functions of materials through ultra-fine control of joining and coating.

AboutAbout the lab
Ultra-fine control of joining and coating.
The Additive Manufacturing Lab studies how to create and optimize the structure of components through smart processes that control joining and coating with ultra-fine precision at the nano and micro levels.
Using computer-aided fabrication systems and welding systems, the lab works on processes that freely join and coat metals, ceramics, and polymer materials.
Aiming for harmony and coexistence with the environment, the lab's goal is to contribute to a sustainable society that is kind to the global environment.
The department's page also introduces research that uses industrial 3D printers to make use of materials such as slag left over from steel smelting and shells left over from seafood processing.
Key terms
- Coating
- Covering the surface of a material with another material. In this lab, the target materials are metals, ceramics, and polymer materials.
- Residual resources
- Resources that remain after manufacturing or processing, such as slag left over from steel smelting and shells left over from seafood processing.
- Earth Implants
- A general name for items such as artificial fishing reefs that show environmental compatibility and landscape stones that have an atmosphere-conditioning function. They are developed using residual resources.
