Advanced Design and Manufacturing Centre staff
We are academics researching early design stages, creation of new materials and processes, whole value lifecycle, design methods and manufacturing systems.
Advanced Design and Manufacturing Centre (ADM@Bath)
Our research looks to the future of design and manufacturing, covering all the lifecycle stages for products, processes and systems.
Our research environment
We specialise in design and manufacturing through the whole life cycle.
Advanced Design and Manufacturing Centre postgraduate students
We are a group of postgraduate researchers studying PhDs with the research unit.
Our work
Our research tackles the global and social challenges faced by industrial sectors now and in the future.
Tailor-made prosthetic liners could help more amputees walk again
Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a new way of designing and manufacturing bespoke prosthetic liners, in less than a day.
Printing a design revolution with additive manufacture
Using metal powder laser melting, our research on industrial 3D printing has helped to improve processes and develop new products with our industrial partners.
The race to zero-emission flight with additive manufacturing
Vimal Dhokia and Joseph Flynn write about the University's spin out company, Gen3D, which helps engineers design lighter aircraft parts to lower fuel emissions.
Research to create new ultra-precise cutting tools and sensors for aircraft parts begins
AI-enabled sensors for parts machining set to improve quality and help manufacturers cut costs.
TRansdisciplinary Engineering Design (TREND)
Our EPSRC-funded research project (EP/R013179/1) aims to provide industry with the tools to enable effective transdisciplinary working.
Our facilities
We have equipment for advanced design and manufacturing.
Innovative 3D printing equipment installed at Bath
The University is now home to a Renishaw AM250 Selective Laser Melting machine, significantly enhancing Bath’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
About us
We are an interdisciplinary team using data, information and knowledge to achieve whole-life value from products, systems and services. Our work spans creativity in the early design stages, creation of new materials and processes, lifecycle, design methods and manufacturing systems. Our aim is to provide governments, manufacturing industries and researchers with innovative methods and tools to maximise value from current and emerging manufacturing technologies.
