The Institute of Digital Manufacturing Technology at Jiangsu University is an advanced manufacturing experimental base devoting to education, research and development, technical service and training. The doctoral discipline of Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation which it belongs to is one of Jiangsu Province key disciplines and one of national key cultivating disciplines. Mechanical engineering discipline is a first level subject and has the right to grant doctoral and postdoctoral degree. At present, it has four professors and a research and development team including young teachers, graduate and doctoral students. The institute featuresautomotive reverse engineering,synchronous positive development of automotive and Computer-Aided Industrial Design.Based on the research landscape, we have published and served as chief editor of books including “Reverse engineering technology and its applications”, “CATIA Reverse Engineering Practical Course”, five books of “ProEngineer Wildfire 3.0 Series”, three books of “CATIAV5R17 Series”, six books of “UG NX5.0 Series” and so onin the digital design and manufacturing technology aspect.

The current researches mainly lie in:

Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing
