About ARMS
Manufacturing research.
Developing researchers.
Founded by Professor Masakazu Soshi in January 2013, the Advanced Research for Manufacturing Systems (ARMS) Laboratory studies CNC machine tools, machining processes, and additive manufacturing. Today, our research focuses on Agentic Manufacturing and machining/DED hybrid manufacturing, bringing together software, machines, and experiments to address manufacturing challenges.
Experimental capabilities
Research grounded in making and measuring.
ARMS brings together CNC machining, directed energy deposition, and measurement to investigate manufacturing processes and equipment. Students learn through hands-on experimental work.
Our mission
Advance manufacturing. Develop researchers.
A supportive research team
Build an open-minded, friendly environment where people share knowledge, take initiative, and grow through collaboration.
Research shaped by industrial needs
Work with collaborators on real manufacturing problems, pursuing results that benefit industry, academia, and society.
Learning through hands-on research
Help students develop skills and independent judgment through training and experimental research.
Industry collaboration
Start with a manufacturing challenge.
Discuss research questions related to manufacturing software, machining, or hybrid processes.
