- You can study latest technology of processing for paperboards and resin films！
- Experiment！ Analysis！ Evaluation！
- Students research independently！
Supervisor
Professor / Shigeru NAGASAWA, Assistant Professor / Kazuki UMEMOTO
Dr. Nagasawa specializes in plastic processing of paperboard and resin films. His research contributes to industry of them. He respects independency of students. Dr. Umemoto is mainly research regarding multi-legged robot using flexible actuator and robust stability of non-liner systems. He is also very kind, so you can whatever you want to them‼
Research Content
Products such as box for snack, liquid containers, crystal display are made by punching die processing. In this processing, the outbreak that has poor cutting becomes the problem. Conditions for processing is empirically determined by each producer. Therefore, we try to improve them by evaluating and developing processing method. For example, we study about cutting properties and folding properties of cardboard and the resin at the time of punching die processing in this laboratory.
In additon to our experimental room, we have cutting RP processing machine and 3D printer.
A Day in the Lab
The student study at their own pace. The atmosphere in the laboratory is friendly, so we can share not only research but also daily life. Since there are many foreign students, we can get a lot of opportunity to share cultures and to talk in English.
We have two seminars a week. In the seminar, we report present status and progress of each study to our teachers and revise the directionality of the study. I think that you can enjoy the student life other than the study enough if you can push forward your study premeditatedly and properly.

We hold annual training camp for research in September
