The Precision Engineering community is quite small and the euspen annual event is a great way to make and maintain contact with world-leading experts in the field, many of whom offer highly relevant tutorial sessions at the conferences. We at Cranfield Precision specialise in the design and manufacture of high precision machine systems, it would be unthinkable for us not to take advantage of the technical program, networking and educational opportunities on offer at euspen conferences. Since around 2011, we have been exhibitors at the annual conference exhibition, we have found this to be an excellent way of making contact with new and existing customers. We can trace the initial contact made with many of our current and past customers back to the euspen conference and exhibition, so the cost of attending and exhibiting has paid for itself many times over.
With over 400 attendees focused on precision engineering, exhibiting at the Annual Conference & exhibition organised by euspen is vital to getting our message to the right people. The ultimate benefit to attending is the people you meet. Networking with industry experts willing to discuss ideas and offer suggestions to those difficult projects waiting for you back home. These conversations lead to treasured relationships with talented precision engineers you can consult when difficult questions arise.
Keynotes

Dynamic Strategies for Development of Host-Responsive Medical Devices
Contemporary medical device research has shifted its focus from viewing biomaterials as static structures to utilizing functionalization and biofabrication techniques to fine-tune desired responses in both host organisms and implants. A comprehensive understanding of host responses is crucial in formulating effective strategies. To achieve this, transcriptomic- and glyco-proteomics-based methodologies are employed to explore host response insights. Host responses can be manipulated through functionalization strategies that facilitate the attachment of biomolecules to diverse structural motifs. The deliberate organization of biomolecular assembly into higher-order, self-organized systems is crucial for various biological processes and the development of advanced biomaterial systems.

Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence in Precision Additive Manufacturing
Precision additive manufacturing (AM) stands out as a transformative approach, offering unparalleled capabilities to produce intricate and customized products. In my talk I will discuss into the symbiotic relationship between Digital Twins — virtual replicas of physical assets — and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing AM processes. The convergence of these advanced technologies facilitates real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and dynamic response to changes during the production process.

European Space Agency activities on Electric and Micro Propulsion: technology state of the art and needs for precision manufacturing and verification
Europe has extensive heritage in developing Electric and Micro Propulsion technologies for Spacecraft. Recent European successes include several GEO Telecommunication satellites like ARTEMIS, AlphaSAT, Eurostar E3000, Spacebus 4000, SmallGEO, Spacebus NEO and Eurostar NEO, the ESA’s SMART-1 mission to the Moon, the ESA’s GOCE Earth Gravity mission and the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury.
Ongoing developments target next generation GEO telecommunication satellites, large constellations of Telecommunication and Earth Observation small satellites in Low Earth Orbits, Galileo 2nd Generation Navigation constellation, Next Generation Gravity mission, Mars Sample Return and several Cubesat missions.
Electric and Micro Propulsion are considered as a strategic technology to enable mobility in space, to increase competitiveness and enhance or even unlock emerging space applications.
The European Space Agency, the European Commission, the National Space Agencies, and European Industry are working together to mature this technology via on-ground qualification and in-orbit demonstration, to improve performance and reliability, to significantly reduce prices, to increase production volume and to establish/retain leadership.
This keynote will present the state of the art of the Electric and Micro Propulsion technology in Europe, elaborate on future mission needs and technology gaps, trends and opportunities with focus on the needs for precision manufacturing and verification.
