Consultancy and research projects have been undertaken for industries ranging from large industrial groups such as TVS, Amalgamation, Hinduja, Ford and Murugappa Group of Companies to small scale industries and Central government research organizations like IGCAR, BARC, ISRO, CVRDE and DRDO. Small and medium sector companies in automotive ancillary parts manufacture and consumer product industries also form important segments.

AU-FRG ICC has always believed in acquiring the state of the art computing facilities so that the team of qualified people could take up the challenges and provide solutions with utmost technical competency. The Institute is equipped with the latest version of CAD/CAM/CAE Software tools with matching hardware facilities. The AUFRG ICC has recently procured two 3D printing machines which can be used to get physical prototypes straight away from the 3D CAD model. Rapid Prototyping and Rapid tooling have proved to be extremely useful for the industries to bring out products early to market.

The AU-FRG ICC is unique as the faculty strength from different fields of Engineering can be drawn in from various departments to handle a variety of industrial projects requiring new product design, product modeling and optimization in product design, mechanical and thermal stress analysis, Flow analysis, NC code generation and CAM.

The AU-FRG, ICC has been running a three year part time post graduate programme on Product Design and Development since 2002 catering to engineers from various industries, teachers from engineering colleges and fresh graduates.

You are invited to partner with us so that we can work together in identifying and solving problems in areas of common interest in all the three segments namely Research, consultancy and training. We wholly believe that such kind of association would yield synergic results and be mutually beneficial.
