3rd International conference on Additive Fabrication of composites : French/japan dialogue

Additive manufacturing of organic matrix composites, whether through automated fiber placement (AFP), 3D printing (FFF) or 4D printing, represents a tremendous opportunity to re-invent materials and structures. Add Fab Comp i.e. Additive Fabrication of composites is an international conference whose purpose is to gather the latest research on the exciting topics including (but not limited to) : Design methods for additive manufacturing (IA, machine learning, topological optimization, material by design, biomimicry, etc.) New materials and new functionalities (Architectured materials, biocomposites, smart materials, multi-materials etc.) Advanced process development and technology (new process, monitoring...), Process modeling and simulation (thermo-mechanical coupling, etc.), Microstructure and Induced singularities and defects, Characterization and innovative properties (multi-function, morphing, mechanical, fatigue, aging, etc.) 4D printing (design, material and multifunctional properties, etc.) Industrialization and applications (Aerospace, automotive, naval, defense, etc. This third edition will be hosted as an online event and will be an unique event to promote French/japanese dialogue on the novel trends of Additive manufacturing of composite materials. The conference will take place on 8-9 December 2022. The event will be live (France Time, UTC+1), which will allow us to organize the interventions taking into account the different time differences.
