Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the 2017 World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing, a joint conference of the 12th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2017), the 13th Multi-Material Micro Manufacture (4M 2017), and the International Forum on MicroManufacturing (IFMM’17). The Congress, organized by the International Institution for Micromanufacturing (I2M2), 4M Association, and IFMM is bringing together the worldwide community of micromanufacturing experts.

This is the first time that the three major micromanufacturing conferences join together, and the first that 4M moves to Asian. This World Congress is focused on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with nano/micro/meso-scale features.

Papers should address theoretical and applied research issues related to manufacture, assembly and metrology for components and systems with nano/micro/meso-scale features and dimensions.

Four-page conference papers for oral presentation and two-page extended abstracts for poster are due on December 1, 2016. Selected papers will be invited for fast track submission to ASME Journal of Micro and Nano Manufacturing.

Topics to be covered (but not limited to) are:

• Fabrication technologies and process chains
• Novel product designs and assembly technologies
• Process characterization, modeling and simulation
• On-line monitoring and inspection systems/methods
• Processing and characterization of materials and material-related issues
• Tribology and surface engineering in micromanufacturing

Important Dates:

December 1, 2016 – Paper submission deadline (Extended to December 15, 2016)
January 31, 2017 – Feedback to authors from the reviewers (Extended to February 8, 2017)
February 12, 2017 – Deadline for the Early Bird Registration discount and Authors’ Registration (Extended to March 1, 2017)
February 20, 2017 – Deadline for final papers
February 26, 2017 - Deadline for copyright form
March 27, 2017 – Start of the 2017 World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing

Details about manuscript submission, registration, and keynote speakers will be shown at the Congress' website soon. We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing next spring.

Sincerely,

Yunn-Shiuan Liao, Conference Chair, National Taiwan University
Albert J. Shih, Conference Co-Chair, University of Michigan
