The Section for Manufacturing Engineering (MPP) consists of 5 full professors, 5 associate professors, 2 assistant professors, 2 post docs, 13 Ph.D. students, 27 technicians and engineers and 4 administrative staff.
MPP performs research and teaching in the field of manufacturing engineering. The research involves theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches. The main activity areas cover manufacturing processes, micro/nano manufacturing, metrology on all scales (macro, micro, nano) as well as modeling approaches to all these subjects. Research and teaching is based on a multi-disciplinary use of process technology, materials science, thermodynamics as well as solid and fluid mechanics in the analysis and modeling of manufacturing processes.
The section has unique experimental facilities and laboratories at its disposal in buildings 423, 425 and 427.
An engineer having followed the courses of MPP is capable of designing and optimizing manufacturing processes and systems, and the engineer can participate in product development and design as a specialist on process and material choice and preparation of the industrial production. The candidate will have a detailed insight into basic physical and chemical mechanisms of manufacturing processes combined with a basic knowledge on materials. If the candidate has worked with micro/nano manufacturing he/she will be capable of performing a qualitative and quantitative design and dimensioning of micro mechanical components and products and choosing and designing complex process chains for their manufacture.
MPP is internationally recognized for its activities, and MPP is considered leading in its respective research areas. MPP has collaboration partners among the leading international universities, and we collaborate with Danish industrial companies concerning research and educational projects.
The researchers of MPP participate in various international networks in the field of manufacturing engineering, e.g. International Academy for Production Engineering - CIRP (www.cirp.net) and European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology- euspen
(www.euspen.org).
