Prof. Sajan Kapil

Dr. Sajan Kapil completed his Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from G. B. Pant Engineering College Pauri, Masters degree in Computer Assisted Manufacturing from IIT Guwahati & University of Stuttgart and Ph.D. from IIT Bombay. After that, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering IIT Guwahati as an Assistant Professor. His areas of research include 3D printing, Manufacturing Automation, and CAD/CAM. At IIT Bombay, he had developed an Additive Manufacturing process called Hybrid Layered Manufacturing. He had simplified the manufacturing process of complex geometries by generating both 3 and 5-axis metal deposition toolpaths. He has published his research work in 13 international journals, 7 Indian patents, and more than 20 conferences. He has developed a new elective course entitled as Additive Manufacturing Technologies at IIT Guwahati. He is involved in teaching the subjects like Additive Manufacturing Technologies, Kinematics of Machinery, Engineering Drawing, and Manufacturing Laboratory, at IIT Guwahati.

course was very informative and interesting, the level of explanation of mentor is very easy and understandable . This subject help me a lot to work on 3d printing methods like how to control parameters, precaution for defect free parts printing. I am thankful to mentor Dr Sajan Kapil and team for their great effort. Thanks


Course was well taught and planned. Please make some good courses like this available in future which are essential related to industrial 4.0
