There is adequate facility for research work leading to Ph.D. degree and consultancy services to industries in the department. The department is well equipped with setups, equipment and software in the area of non-traditional machining and virtual manufacturing such as:

• Laser Machining
• Electro discharge Machining
• Ultrasonic Machining
• Abrasive Jet Machining
• Factory Floor Simulation
• Robotic Simulation
• Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Simulation

The current research works that are being carried out in the department are:

• Thermal analysis, tool erosion, crack initiation and propagation in EDM surfaces
• Study of Surface roughness
• Analysis of eroded crater formed under growing plasma channel in EDM
• Thermal analysis and study of drill hole contour, surface damage (HAZ) in Nd-YAG laser
• Analysis of MRR, surface roughness, tool wear in USM
• Analysis of MRR through mathematical and statistical modeling in AJM
• Application of soft computing techniques in FMS scheduling
• Application of TOC in product mix problems
• Simulation and modeling using Robotics and Factory Floor software tools
