The COVID Pandemic has caused many to re-examine the long and inadequate supply chains of personal protective equipment. Groups of engineers around the world have turned to direct digital manufacturing as a rapid and localised means of manufacturing to lessen the risks to which frontline medical workers and the population more generally are exposed to. Direct Digital Manufactory is a family of technologies which is able to product products directly from a digital definition without the use of moulds or other complex tooling. These technologies directly enable the possibility of personalisation of the form of a product at the point of manufacturing. The time from concept to product can be very short many be hours or days. This enabled the local production of face shields, ventilators and other medical equipment, when it was needed and where it is needed. Now many are turning to Direct Digital Manufacturing to develop a new generation of face masks and other protective equipment. We invite papers which address any aspect of manufacturing and the challenges raised by the COVID 19 Pandemic with respect to both the technology, simulations, design approaches, medical devices, optimisation techniques, case studies and applications. Please submit your abstract prepared using the template available here and submit using the form available here. Abstracts will be considered immediately they arrive, so please send your abstract as soon as possible to secure a slot in the programme.
