INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE PRESENTATION:
Recent Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping technologies have produced remarkable changes and improvements in the way people design and fabricate objects, products and services; both in formal and in informal environments.
The AHFE International Conference on Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping is a leading forum focused on cutting edge design and manufacturing processes; it welcomes papers that cover articles, case studies and multidisciplinary studies specifically focused on ergonomics research, design applications, engineering processes, experimental purposes and theoretical methods applied the themes of Digital Modeling Systems and Additive Manufacturing, and their cross-sectorial convergences.
The International Conference is conceived as a forum to bring together researchers, experts, professionals and stakeholders from various disciplines working in these three main areas. The aim is to explore and contribute to the research challenges with theoretical studies, experimental researches and best practices in the applications of Additive Manufacturing, Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping, and their cross-sectorial applications in any context: tangible and/or intangible, industrial and/or non-industrial, formal and/or informal.
