Academician, Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) As a pioneer in domestic research on rapid prototyping manufacturing systems, Mr Lu developed the first UV rapid prototyping machine in the world. He also developed advanced Opto-mechatronics rapid manufacturing equipment and supplies. As a result he formed a cutting edge, rapid development system—the first of its kind in China—that has already seen 5 different equipment, and 3 different material types, used in industrialized production. Mr. Lu is also in charge of the construction program of Ministry of Education’s rapid prototyping engineering center, during the education revitalization plan for China’s Ninth and Tenth Five-Year periods, as well as the 211 Plan. Additionally, he has taken part in many other national-level scientific and research projects, particularly in rapid prototype manufacturing.
