G11: Smart Processing and Production Root Technology for Hybrid Materials

Research fields related to innovative manufacturing technologies such as “Smart Processing”, “IIoT”, “Industry 4.0” are expanding. Even in the field of ceramics, such advanced manufacturing is an important research topic. “Production Root Technologies” refers to a collection of six production technologies including casting, molding, forming, welding, heat treatment, and surface treatment. Production Root Technologies involve both materials and process technologies that are hidden behind products and do not frequently appear outward. However, they are very important fundamentally and greatly influence material performance. As the functions of products become more complex and robust, the importance of these Production Root Technologies is concurrently growing.

This symposium is designed to provide an opportunity for the world’s leading scientists and engineers from many fields to exchange ideas and to build new collaborations in the fields of “Smart Processing” and “Production Root Technologies”.
