International Manufacturing Forum Series 2021 – 9th December 2021 – …

The International Manufacturing Forum Series is a major initative from the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development (CDRSP) of the Polytechnic of Leiria in Portugal. This is a twelve day virtual conference spread over 12 months, with a one conference held on the first thursday of each month. Each one day conference will focus on a specific topic within the broad umbrella of Manufacturing. There will be a particular emphasis on topics related to Industry 4.0 and Digital Manufacturing. CDRSP is a centre of excellence in the field of Direct Digital Manufacturing and was recently judged by an International Panel of the Foundation for Science and Technology to be the best Research Unit in the field of Mechanical Engineering and System Engineering in Portugal.
The December Session of the IMFS 2021 will be online and presential at CDRSP building at Marinha Grande, Portugal.
The December Session of the IMFS 2021 will be split in to two parts. A morning session will present and discuss a Multiple Laboratory Trial of Additive Manufacturing and in the afternoon foccused on an EU project SoftAwarewe which is open to all
