About MechMicroFab-2022

The workshop is organised by Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur. Advances in mechatronics and microfabrication will be deliberated for different domains of modern manufacturing processes including additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM). The workshop aims to impart technical knowledge with hands-on training experience to the participants. Separate laboratory modules on various manufacturing processes will be delivered with individual practices/demonstrations sessions. MechMicroFab – 2022 aims to address some of the challenges in the modern manufacturing and transfer the much needed knowledge/skills to support national manufacturing missions.



IIT Kanpur

The institute was started in December 1959 in a room in the canteen building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur. In 1963, the institute moved to its present location, on the Grand Trunk Road near Kalyanpur locality in Kanpur district. The campus was designed by Achyut Kavinde in a modernist style.During the first ten years of its existence, a consortium of nine US universities (namely MIT, UCB, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Case Institute of Technology and Purdue University) helped set up IIT Kanpur's research laboratories and academic programmes under the Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP)



Mechatronics & MicroFab

The digitisation of microfabrication methods is leading towards a paradigm shift in modern factories to embrace Industry 4.0. Mechatronics of AM processes to generate micro-scale components and SM processes to precisely remove material at the micro/nanoscale demands trained professionals and engineers to cater to the need of next-generation manufacturing. Sessions on metal additive manufacturing will focus on the fabrication of miniaturised components, metamaterials, micro-AM and defect-free superalloy components. In micro/nano manufacturing, precise control of material removal at the micro and nanoscale will be deliberated with lab scale tests with synergies of basic and advanced control methods.
