The 9th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2014) organized by the International Institution of Micro Manufacturing (I2M2) will be held in Singapore March 25-28th, 2014. It is hosted jointly by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS).
ICOMM 2014 focuses on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with micro-scale features. Many fields, including medical, aerospace, military/defense, optics, automotive, consumer products, and communications, have been increasingly demanding such miniature parts with complex micro-scale features made from a wide selection of materials. Some current applications of miniature parts with dimensions ranging from a few micrometers to tens of millimeters include - miniature motors and turbines, micro-satellites, implantable medical devices, minimally invasive surgical equipment, micro robots, and miniature molds and dies. Miniature parts are expected to be in increasing demand in the future.
