A-Cube Research Group was formed more than a decade ago and named after its initial three “A” areas which were Adaptive Layered Manufacturing, Abrasive Waterjet Technology and Automotive Technology. Today, A-Cube focuses its effort on customer-oriented manufacturing that includes design for customer experience, co-created product design, image-based additive manufacturing from 3D CAD models, reverse engineering and sketch-based modeling, and flexible automation for rapid personalized production. Besides, the group also actives in additive manufacturing for tissue engineering.
