ARMS Laboratory / UC Davis
Connecting people, software, and manufacturing.
We explore manufacturing workflows for people and computers through Cognitive Manufacturing, alongside experimental research in machining-DED hybrid processes.
Inside ARMS Experimental directed energy deposition research.
Our research
Two research directions. One experimental foundation.
From connected engineering knowledge and software agents to the interaction of deposition and cutting.

Two complementary pillars, with people guiding decisions.
Rethinking manufacturing workflows for people and computers, connecting engineering knowledge and computational tools to accelerate the path from design to production.
Founded by Professor Masakazu Soshi, ARMS brings together CNC machine tools, machining processes, and additive manufacturing with research in engineering knowledge and software systems.
Graduate students form the core of research at ARMS, advancing our work in engineering knowledge, software systems, and manufacturing processes through computational and experimental research.
