This conference is held every 2 years. The focus is on engineering manufacture and will include works on additive manufacturing, precision machining, vacuum assisted high pressure die casting, semi-solid metal casting, compressive and tensile forming processes, among many others.

Special topics of interest are:
• modelling and optimization of manufacture processes
• design for manufacturing strategies
• development of new manufacturing technologies
• design of novel manufacturing equipment
• comparative case studies
• cost and quality analysis
• ecological aspects
• destructive and non-destructive testing of manufactured components.
