The Micro Fabrication Systems Lab studies how to control tiny shapes on the nanometer scale by using the process in which atoms and molecules accumulate on a surface. Controlling nanoscale shapes yields unique and useful properties that uniform materials do not have. The lab's research is wide-ranging, from searching for new functions to practical application. Also known as the Suzuki-Namura Lab, it also studies the motion of tiny bubbles (microbubbles) generated by light.

The Precision Measurement and Machining Lab researches ways to advance the machining technology that supports the manufacturing industry. Centered on NC machine tools, it researches and develops methods for automating and making intelligent the various systems built around them. Its important themes include autonomy and intelligence in machining, such as turning the skills and experience of skilled engineers into systems and making die and mold machining intelligent. It also tackles the research and development of high-precision positioning and of machine tools with new mechanisms from various perspectives.
