A Targeted Approach
ASMME is a research group who link fundamental material and process knowledge, with industry applications. Our goal is innovation through evolution of manufacturing, working with a wide range of sectors such as aerospace, medical device, energy and transport.
Material knowledge – Material testing, imaging and characterisation is the key driver in all projects
Innovation – Creative thinking and problem solving inform next generation product and manufacturing process development.
Team work – A team of dedicated members leading internationally recognised manufacturing and materials research
Located in the Alice Perry Engineering building at NUI Galway, our researchers have access to a wide range of state-of-the-art on-campus facilities. We also have access to a large network of collaborating institutes and research centers throughout Ireland and the world.
Manufacturing Research
Integration of smarter manufacturing in order to realise more economical solutions with wider applications.
Materials Development
Advancing the bounds of materials through microstructural modification with added value.
New Product and Process Development
Sustainable Manufacturing
Latest Research
The below projects are currently in progress at ASMME with the aim of developing skills and knowledge through ground breaking applied research.
Integration of Embedded Sensors into Composite Components (ComSense)
The aim of ComSense is to enhance the ability to design and manufacture sensorised composite components via process optimisation, experimental testing & microscopy and computational modelling of sensorised composite products manufactured in Ireland.
Additive Manufacturing for Tooling Applications (AM-Tool) in conjunction with IComp, AIT and UCD
The aim of AM-Tool is to exploit the potential of additive manufacturing for the rapid development of high quality composite tooling solutions using paper and polymer materials.
