Description

The International Conference on Future Manufacturing Engineering (ICFME 2014) was held in Hong Kong, December 10-11, 2014.

It gathered academics, industry managers and experts, manufacturing engineers, university students all interested or proficient in the field of manufacturing engineering, including research, design and development of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment.

The manufacturing engineerâ€™s primary focus is to turn raw materials into a new or updated product in the most economic, efficient and effective way possible.

This field also deals with the integration of different facilities and systems for producing quality products (with optimal expenditure) by applying the principles of physics and the results of manufacturing systems studies, such as Design and Manufacturing, Materials Science and Materials Processing Technology, Computer-aid Manufacturing, Mechanics. Manufacturing engineers develop and create physical artifacts, production processes, and technology, a very broad area which includes the design and development of products.

The manufacturing engineering discipline has very strong overlaps with mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, production engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, materials management, and operations management.

Manufacturing engineersâ€™ success or failure directly impacts the advancement of technology and the spread of innovation. This proceedings aims to assess the state of scientific research in various areas of Manufacturing Engineering and will be an interesting source of information for the international engineering scientific community. About the Series:Studies in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering (SMSME) publishes lecture materials and proceedings volumes of conferences sponsored by the International Materials Science Society (IMSS).

Volumes present cutting edge research as well as new perspectives on and developments in all areas of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering.

The audience for the books published in the SMSME series consists of advanced level students, researchers, and industry professionals working at the forefront of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering.
