The First World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing is Held in Taiwan

National Taiwan University and MIRDC Lead Taiwan’s Micro and Nano Manufacturing Technology on the International Stage

With the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the DOIT, Ministry of Economic Affairs, National Taiwan University and MIRDC jointly host the World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing at Kaohsiung Garden Villa from March 27 to the 30 th . Three experts from different fields of micro manufacturing are invited to give speeches about the development and trends of related technologies in different countries. In addition, 17 topics with a total of 114 papers are presented in the congress, which attracts nearly 150 participants from 17 countries.

This world congress is the first one in history to combine the three most important international conferences on micro and nano manufacturing technology, including International Conference on Micro Manufacturing (ICOMM), Multi-Material Micro Manufacture (4M), and International Forum on Micro Manufacturing (IFMM). By gathering micro manufacturing experts around the world, this congress will be the best platform for Taiwanese and international experts from different fields to exchange and share experiences, as well as for cultivating international cooperation.

The WCMNM is the biggest event in the international micro manufacturing society in 2017, and is also the joint achievement of cooperation among Taiwan’s industry, official, and academic sectors (including National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Chung Yuan Christian University, National Chung Hsing University, and National Sun Yat-sen University). In addition to the academic presentations, small exhibits are also set up at the congress. Experts from different countries attending the congress are also invited to visit the micro fabrication laboratory and the electron beam additive manufacturing laboratory (one of the best laboratories in their respective field in Asia) in MIRDC, which are funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Substantial discussion and technology exchange are expected in the congress and lab tour to promote Taiwan’s micro manufacturing development and research results onto the international stage.

國際首度之精微技術聯合會議WCMNM在台舉辦

臺大與金屬中心引領我國精微暨奈米製造技術躍上國際舞臺

在科技部與經濟部技術處的支持下，國立臺灣大學與金屬中心於3月27至30日假高雄蓮潭會館共同舉行WCMNM 2017「精微暨奈米製造技術國際聯合研討會議」 （World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing）。會中除了邀請來自世界精微製造領域的三位大師，就各種國際相關技術的發展狀況與趨勢， 進行精闢的介紹與分析之外，另還有17個主題研討、共計114篇論文發表，吸引了來自全世界17個國家近150位國內外來賓前來共襄盛舉。

此次聯合大會為國際有史以來，首次整合世界精微及奈米製造技術之最重要的三大國際研討會－包括美國之國際精微際製造會議 （ICOMM， International Conference on Micro Manufacturing）,歐盟的4M多元材料精微製造會議（4M，Multi-Material Micro Manufacture） 及日本之國際精微製造論壇(IFMM，International Forum on Micro Manufacturing) 共同組成之聯合大會，匯集了全球精微加工領域之專家於一堂， 亦為國內產學研各界與國際頂尖學者專家交流分享及孕育國際合作機會的最佳平台。

此次聯合大會為本年度國際精微加工領域之最大盛事，也是國內產官學研各界（其中尚包括台科大，中原，中興及中山大學等單位）通力合作之成果； 大會除了有安排論文發表外，會議現場亦有小型之展覽；此外尚安排了與會之各國專家，參訪金屬中心之活動，以參觀其在經濟部經費支持下所建置之 堪稱亞洲設備最完整的「精微模具及成形」及「電子束積層製造」等實驗室，並進行相關之討論及深化的國際技術交流，進而將台灣在精微製造領域的 研發及製造成果推上國際舞臺。
