Overview
The MTED aims to conduct high level of research in the field of manufacturing and engineering design of new and innovative products. Throughout various research projects the research team has solved many problems of the local industry.
The main research areas of the MTED are:
- Optimization of Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) Process and Parameters Industrialization by Means of Advanced Polyflow Simulation
- Welding processes and quality inspection
- Application of thin hard PVD, CVD and Thermal Spray coatings on machine elements (extrusion dies, cutting tools, hybrid bearings, cam mechanisms)
- Characterization and evaluation of the mechanical properties of hard and thin PVD, CVD and thermal spray coatings, fatigue prospect and determination of their working life under static or dynamic loads
- Design and development of computational procedures by means of Finite Elements Method (FEM Simulation)
- Manufacturing processes, CNC machine tools and CAD/CAM systems
- Reconstruction of Archaeological Findings by Computer Tomographies and Rapid Prototyping Methods
- Design and manufacturing of fiber-reinforced composite high-pressure pipes capable for corrosion liquids.
