4M/ICOMM 2009 Conference
Two conferences on manufacturing at the micro-scale are joining forces to bring together experts in the field from the USA, Asia and Europe for the first time.
4M/ICOMM 2009 is the first joint conference organized by the teams behind the USA based International Conference on Micromanufacturing (ICOMM) and the International Conference on Multi-Material Micro-Manufacture (4M) which has its roots in Europe.
Both conferences recognized several years ago that manufacturing at the micro-scale (a few microns to a few millimeters) would be key in bridging the gap between the nano- and the macro-worlds. Consequently both have provided a forum where the latest research on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with micro-scale features have been presented, with an ultimate goal of broadening the range of microsystems-based products by the integration of new materials and processing technologies for their production.
The main goal of the 4M/ICOMM 2009 Conference is to provide a forum for experts from industry and academia to share the results of their in-depth investigations and engage in interdisciplinary discussions about the creation of micro-manufacturing capabilities.
Papers are invited to present the latest advances in developing new processes and process chains for multi-material micro-manufacture and their applications in microsystems-based products.
