Selected, peer reviewed papers from the III Especial Symposium on New Frontiers in Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Processing Training and Learning, July 18-20, 2012, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the New Frontiers in Materials Processing Training and Learning Especial Symposium (XVI Innovative Technical Learning Conference)

Selected peer reviewed papers from the Especial Symposium on New Frontiers in Materials Processing and Manufacturing Engineering Training and Learning at the 22nd CUIEEET, Almadén, Ciudad Real (Spain)

The First International Symposium on the Education in Mechanism and Machine Science (ISEMMS 2013) aimed to create a stable platform for the interchange of experience among researches of mechanism and machine science. Topics treated include contributions on subjects such as new trends and experiences in mechanical engineering education; mechanism and machine science in mechanical engineering curricula; MMS in engineering programs, such as, for example, methodology, virtual labs and new laws. All papers have been rigorously reviewed and represent the state of the art in their field.

Collected here are 112 papers concerned with all manner of new directions in manufacturing systems given at the 41st CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems. The high-quality material presented in this volume includes reports of work from both scientific and engineering standpoints and several invited and keynote papers addressing the current cutting edge and likely future trends in manufacturing systems. The book’s subjects include: (1) new trends in manufacturing systems design: sustainable design, ubiquitous manufacturing, emergent synthesis, service engineering, value creation, cost engineering, human and social aspects of manufacturing, etc.; (2) new applications for manufacturing systems – medical, life-science, optics, NEMS, etc.; (3) intelligent use of advanced methods and new materials – new manufacturing process technologies, high-hardness materials, bio-medical materials, etc.; (4) integration and control for new machines – compound machine tools, rapid prototyping, printing process integration, etc.
