Institute of Eminence
Proposed Center of Excellence for Advanced Laser Material Processing (CALMP)
Our Research Center
The centre of excellence for Advanced Laser Manufacturing deals with exploring the potentials of Lasers in the fields of Nano-structuring, Nano-texturing, Micromachining, Micro-grinding, Joining, Peening, Beam shaping, 3D figuring, alchemy and Pulsed Laser Deposition. The centre is equipped with state of the art facilities including Femto-second Laser, Galvo-scanner, micro-grinding setup, Micro-Raman Spectroscopy and the subject experts for various fields spanning from Physics, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Design. The centre also pledges to bridge the gap between the industry and academia.
