Workshop 1: Machine Learning in Precision Engineering

 7th June 2021
Time: 14:00-17:00 (CEST)

Chair: Prof. Richard Leach, University of Nottingham, UK

Fueled by the advent of high-speed parallel computing, the field of machine learning has ceased to be a mere research curiosity and has begun to be deployed in real industrial applications. At euspen’s 21st International Conference & Exhibition, we are pleased to present an industrially focused workshop covering the current state of the art in machine learning for precision engineering. This workshop will comprise a series of industrial and academic speakers covering current applications of machine learning to precision engineering and challenges for the future.

 Workshop 2: Metrology for Advanced Manufacturing

  7th June 2021
Time: 13:00 – 17:00 (CEST)

Chairs: Dr Harald Bosse, PTB, DE and Alexander Evans, BAM, DE

This workshop aims to inform and engage with the euspen community of the ongoing work on the AdvManuNet joint network project which aims to establish a European Metrology Network (EMN) for Advanced Manufacturing. EMNs are intended by EURAMET, the association of European metrology institutes, to establish self-sustainable networking structures for an ongoing stakeholder dialogue in different strategic important topics. Metrology for Advanced Manufacturing is one of those topics. The workshop will run as a training and dissemination event, informing the participants of the stakeholder engagement activities, proposed connections with established networks and the preliminary metrology needs of stakeholders to shape the future Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for this domain.

The event will enable discussions on the SRA to be developed and thus offers a forum to provide input regarding metrology developments needed for the further development of Advanced Manufacturing. This SRA on metrology for Advanced Manufacturing is important for future activities within the European national metrology institutes and also for influencing future European research programmes on Advanced Manufacturing.

 Workshop 3: High Precision Process Chains for the Mass Production of Functional Structured Surfaces – ProSurf

 7th June 2021
Time: 14:00 – 17:00 (CEST)

Chairs: Dr.-Ing. Oltmann Riemer and Dr.-Ing. Lars Schönemann, Leibniz-Institute for Materials Engineering IWT, DE

ProSurf aims to transfer a selection of advanced methods for surface modification into industrial massproduction lines that use replicative processes. Replication is the established method of choice for massproduction of polymer and, in several cases, of ceramic goods. Therefore, replication-based production is of highest relevance when one aims to improve the cost/performance ratio of mass-products. In addition, structuring replication moulds in established process chains avoids the complex problems that in-line structuring creates. To ensure that ProSurf’s methods can easily be implemented, in particular if several surface modifying methods are to be combined, we go beyond isolated technology development; we mirror the entire production process including handshake between different stages, off-line and in-line quality monitoring, and modelling. In consequence, the results of ProSurf would cover a broad scope of applications and have a vast potential to trigger further innovations. To showcase the performance of ProSurf’s solutions, we will carry out demonstration studies improving actual products of our industrial consortium members.
