معرفی
Professor Masakazu Soshi is a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California Davis, affiliated with the College of Engineering. He leads the Advanced Research for Manufacturing Systems (ARMS) Laboratory, focusing on improving machining and additive manufacturing processes for advanced CNC machine tool systems. His research integrates computational analysis, experimental validation, and hardware development to enhance manufacturing productivity and cost-effectiveness.
Research interests include manufacturing systems, CNC machine tools, mechatronics design, additive manufacturing, and high-performance machining. The ARMS Lab specifically addresses challenges in Directed Energy Deposition (DED), hybrid manufacturing processes, and precision machine tool component design. Key projects involve optimizing material deposition rates, residual stress management, and real-time control systems for additive processes.
Recent publications emphasize DED process control, hybrid additive-subtractive systems, and manufacturing system integration. His work bridges computational modeling (e.g., conforming mesh simulations) with practical hardware innovations (e.g., dynamic powder splitters). No notable awards or grants are explicitly listed, though his lab's website (http://arms.engr.ucdavis.edu) highlights ongoing collaborations and applied research.
Professor Soshi's lab maintains a strong focus on industrial applications, such as improving machine tool guideways via CBN hard milling and developing high-torque spindle systems for aerospace materials. His research also extends to robotic-assisted surgical toolpath optimization and advanced cooling methods for hybrid CNC machines.
