The College

PSG College of Technology, a premier

institution for engineering education in India,

started in 1951 has developed into a centre for

advanced studies and research in several areas

of engineering, technology, applied sciences and

management. The college is autonomous since

1978 and is certificated by ISO. The

laboratories, workshops and library of the

college are well equipped with modern facilities

suitable for learning and research.

Production Engineering Department

As manufacturing activities play a major role in

the development of the country, PSG College of

Technology envisaged the need for trained

manpower in manufacturing and thus the

undergraduate programme in Production

Engineering was started in the year 1975.

Subsequently, department grew in several

dimensions of academic excellence with time.

The programme has been accredited for five

years, in the year 2012, which is the best

ranking offered for a BE programme by

National Board of Accreditation (NBA),

maintaining its previous accreditation status. All

the laboratories of the department are approved

for carrying out research, leading to Ph.D

Degree (full time and part time) by Anna

University, Chennai. The department offers

consultancy in manufacturing processes, design

and testing a range of products.

Facilities

In addition to the conventional laboratories there

are specialized laboratories in virtual reality,

CNC, rapid prototyping and computer vision.

One-day National Level

Workshop on Manufacturing

Challenges in Composites

January 8th, 2016

Organised by

DEPARTMENT OF PRODUCTION

ENGINEERING

PSG COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

COIMBATORE- 641 004

Objectives

The objective of the workshop is to establish a

platform for efficient exchange of knowledge on

the issues and demands in design and

manufacturing of composites among industrial

experts, academicians, researchers and end

users.

About the workshop

Lightweight, high-strength, high stiffness and

low-cost composite materials have been

identified as a key cross-cutting technology for

overall development of manufacturing industries

especially automotive, aerospace, defense,

construction and energy sectors. Improvements

and innovation in manufacturing and assembly

techniques for composite materials and

structures are needed to meet cost and stringent

performance targets to enable wider adoption

across multiple industries. Addressing these

technical challenges may enable Indian

manufacturers to capture a larger market share

of the world and could support domestic

manufacturing demands.

Improving the manufacturing speed and quality

and reducing their manufacturing costs could

accelerate their use in automotive, wind,

compressed gas storage and other clean energy

and industrial applications.

The workshop will foster an exchange of

information on technical issues and challenges

in design and manufacturing related to

achieving low-cost composites and impacting

Indian manufacturing competitiveness in

various fields with main emphasis on aerospace

industries. The workshop includes presentations

by eminent personalities who have rich

experience in the fields of composites and shall

facilitate breakout sessions to gather input from

participants. Over 125 participants representing

academic institutions, national laboratories,

automotive, aircraft, aerospace industries, etc.

are expected.

Topics covered

o Design, modeling, simulations, optimization

(including tooling design) of composites

o Sensing and measurement

o 3D Composites

o Nano-Composites
