Fabrication

Objective

The production of goods, as one of the pillars of contemporary development, has been attracting the attention of researchers and professionals from different areas, because of its undeniable multidisciplinary characteristics.

The skills of mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, electricians and computer professionals are required in the integration of the manufacturing processes and the adequacy of the productive structure for its purposes, optimizing time and resources, and using the latest fabrication technologies.

The research and work done in this area spread out over different domains such as welding processes, production management, machining technology, forming, fabrication of injected components, hardware development, processes automation, among many others.
