Augmented Reality (AR) is the top technological trend that is changing the learning experiences today. The AR Studio is a dedicated space for the exploration of cutting-edge immersive technologies physically and imaginatively. The Lab is equipped with various software and design platforms to help students experiment and create innovations in a wide range of industries. AR Studio is the first of its kind in Gujarat. The application of this platform is observed everywhere like, Design and Modelling, Sales and Marketing, Repair and Maintenance, Medical Training, Business Logistics, Tourism Industry, Classroom Education, and many more.

Skill Development Activity: Industry ready 3d cad models and their image target, model target, surface target augmentation experiences developed by students.

The importance of automation and robotics is increasing nowadays. The Robotics Lab at Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology has been set up in association with IIT Bombay, under the e-Yantra project of MHRD, Govt. of India. The center is equipped with various robotic kits, testing kits, programming software, and all other required infrastructures. Students get training in VLSI and Embedded systems, PLC/SCADA Programming, Microprocessor based programming, and modern trends like Arduino and Raspberry pie to develop robots for various automation systems. The application of this lab is observed everywhere like, Manufacturing, Military, Health Service, Surveillance, Medical, Hazardous Environment, Underwater, Space, and remote locations.

Rapid Prototyping is a technology that can automatically generate physical models from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) data. The ‘3D printers” equipped in this lab allow students to create robust physical prototypes of their designs, rather than just 2D/3D pictures or CAD models. This facility is extensively used by students to work on various industrial consultancy projects and their final year project under the guidance of highly experienced and skilled faculties. The application areas of this technology to building functional prototypes are patterns for casting, Reverse Engineering, Medical, Biocompatible materials, Aviation, Construction, Jewelry Design, and many more.

The pneumatic systems are extensively used in the industries. In the Pneumatics lab, students get a deep knowledge of handling and operating of pneumatic control circuits, valves, sequence-circuits, the sequence of motion and switching conditions, methods for constructing a circuit diagram, design, and operating principles of a cascading system, etc. The main objective of this lab is to familiarize students with the type of automation that can be achieved with pneumatic devices. Pneumatics is widely used in any Automation Industry, Automobile Applications, Material Handling, Construction Industry, Defense, Agriculture, etc.

Skill Development Activity: Automation with Pneumatics

The CAD lab provides a digitally integrated environment where the students can design, analyze, simulate, generate CNC codes, and build models. With the help of CAD software available in the lab, students can present their ideas into drawings in the form of 2D/3D models and can explore new possibilities in the mechanical engineering design. This lab is widely used for Solid/Surface Modeling, Drafting and Detailing, Reverse Engineering, Design Simulations, Product Synthesis, and Analysis, Structural, Thermal, and Flow Analysis, Optimization.

In this laboratory, students are working on various industrial projects as a part of consultancy work and under the #EarnWhileYouLearn program.

Skill Development Activity: AutoCAD, Creo, FEA, Xchanger Suite HTRI

Mechanical Workshop is intended to make students competent in handling practical work in engineering with learning by doing approach. Mechanical Workshop is equipped with a number of various basic tools, cutting tools, and machine tools to give hands-on experience to the students for an extensive expertise and real industrial environment and also provides facilities to fabricate their final year project under the guidance of highly experienced and skilled faculties. The application of the workshop is to make students experts in basic manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Skill Development Activity: Machine Tools, CNC Programing & Operating, Welding Technology

Dynamics is a combination of kinematics and kinetics. A Mechanism is a combination of rigid or resilient bodies joined together to provide a specific absolute motion. This lab contains equipment both in the form of working and non-working models through which the students are able to synergize theory and practical skills. The important areas of dynamics are balancing, vibrations, whirling, and other basic principles of applied mechanics which are fully covered using this range of products.

Fluid mechanics can be studied when fluid at rest and fluid in motion. The prime objective of this lab is to impart the experimental skills in flow measurement in pipes and channels as well as to verify the performance characteristics of pumps, turbines, and compressors which are used in most industries. This laboratory is also providing hands-on training to the students on maintenance & troubleshooting of various pumps like a centrifugal pump, submersible pump, coolant pump, vane pump, gear pump, etc. This subject has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering and biology, etc.

Skill Development Activity: Pump Troubleshooting, Flow Measurement
