ARMS Laboratory / UC Davis
Connecting software,
machines, and
manufacturing.
We investigate Agentic Manufacturing and machining–DED hybrid processes, connecting software agents with experimental manufacturing research.

Inside ARMS Experimental directed energy deposition research.Our research
Two research directions.
One experimental foundation.
From software-driven workflows to the interaction of deposition and cutting.
01 / Software & systems
Agentic Manufacturing
Investigating software agents that operate and coordinate CAD, CAM, and CNC systems to reduce reliance on manual operator interaction.
Explore Agentic Manufacturing →02 / Processes & machines
Machining/DED hybrid manufacturing
Investigating how deposition and machining can work together, from process planning to experimental measurement.
