Abstract
Production engineering is typified by constant change. Solutions for complex problems must be devised at an ever faster pace. National frontiers are falling, and the ability to act globally is becoming a vital factor. Interdisciplinary co-operation in international teams is the motto of the day. All these factors present a new challenge to production engineering. Collaborative Research is a response to that challenge. CIRP, as the global platform for production engineering research, looks back on a long tradition of successful collaborative research. The present paper presents experience and results from joint research in the STC-G (Abrasive Processes) on the “Characterisation of vitrified bonded CBN grinding wheels”. It also outlines the results of a survey in which CIRP members report their experience in collaborative work within CIRP, and suggest future forms which CIRP collaborative research might take.
