Aiming for a Rapid Progress of
Manufacturing Technology for Aircrafts
Hosted by: Collaborative Research Center for Manufacturing Innovation,
Institute of Industrial Science(IIS), The University of Tokyo
  Consortium for Manufacturing Innovation (CMI*)
Date: November 12th , 2013(Tue.) 13:00〜17:00
Venue: ENEOS Hall, Bldg. 3-S, KomabaUCampus, The University of Tokyo
The First CMI Symposium was held on November 12, 2013 at ENEOS Hall, KomabaUCampus, The University of Tokyo
Aiming for a rapid progress of manufacturing technology that supports the base of aircraft industry, in which major development is expected hereafter, a project through industry-university-government cooperation has launched last year. The Collaborative Research Center for Manufacturing Innovation (CMI) has been founded this April in the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo and a full-scale R&D among six laboratories has started. Furthermore, in addition to the CMI start-up members, new members which agreed to CMI’s purpose are scheduled to join the project this October.

Symposium Poster (PDF)
Research objects of CMI are technological developments for rapid and high value-added manufacturing, environmentally conscious manufacturing and manufacturing with the minimum natural resources and less amount of rare metals related to aircraft manufacturing, but we are aiming for a rapid progress by enhancing the skill of manufacturing technology into manufacturing science. Applicable products are not limited to aircrafts and as a successful example of project through industry-university-government cooperation, we are also expecting to expand it into other industrial fields in the future.
We would like to think together about ”Innovation in Manufacturing Technology for Aircrafts” at today’s symposium.
