The success of this early work proved to be the beginning of a relationship that continues today. The manufacturing research activity is accomplished, both by the Student Research Assistants and the class projects. Mechanical Engineering Dept. What's inside This site is presently used as a chronological repository of the work done by the graduate students and the class project teams. To date, the primary focus has been on the manufacturing of Accelerator Structures and Support Structures.
Work includes the study of alternative designs and manufacturing processes.
Optimization of the manufacturing processes has also been attempted. This academic year, DfM tools are being applied to other NLC components and systems.
