Selected Papers from the Second International Conference of the Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing (IC-IAMSM)
The shift from traditional manufacturing to additive manufacturing is driven by advanced technology and increasing consumer demand for complex parts and highly efficient products. This transition has significant implications for sustainable product design, engineering, and manufacturing. While additive manufacturing comprises relatively new technologies, their potential for sustainable practices has become a reality nowadays. Advanced materials play a crucial role in this paradigm shift by offering a sustainable pathway to reduce CO2 emissions, explore energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and combine with enabling technologies, such as artificial intelligence, for reducing weight, material waste, and carbon footprints.
The 2nd International Conference of the Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing (IC-IAMSM) titled "Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing," was held at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey, México, in September 2023. This Article Collection for International Journal of Sustainable Engineering showcases conference papers that cover various aspects of advanced materials in additive manufacturing, reflecting the cutting-edge world of the future of additive manufacturing. The IC-IAMSM brings together top researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to explore the endless possibilities of additive manufacturing and advanced materials for the benefit of people and society, unlocking the future of sustainable innovation.
