MATADOR Conference
Established in 1959, the MATADOR Conference is one of the longest-running and most respected events in manufacturing. It attracts high-quality, peer-reviewed research from around the world, focusing on advancements in manufacturing automation, systems technology, applications, design, organisation, and management.
LAMDAMAP Conference
The Laser Metrology and Machine Performance (LAMDAMAP) Conference focuses on advancements in machine tool metrology, surface characterisation, and novel manufacturing techniques. As the demand for nanometre-level precision grows, accurate measurement and control of machine performance have become more critical than ever.
Thermal Issues in Precision Engineering
Thermal effects are a major source of error in precision equipment, directly impacting repeatability, stability, and long-term performance. As industry tolerances tighten, understanding and mitigating thermal influences is essential. This section of the conference will showcase cutting-edge research and practical solutions in temperature measurement, thermal compensation, and AI-driven corrective techniques.
With a strong focus on industrial collaboration and real-world applications, the MATADOR, LAMDAMAP & Thermal Issues 2025 Conference offers unparalleled opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking, and innovation. As the official delivery partner, euspen leverages its extensive network of industrialists and researchers to ensure an impactful and forward-thinking event.
Join us as we push the boundaries of precision engineering and manufacturing excellence!
