| Abstract Scope |
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) are revolutionizing the way in which we think about and conduct materials discovery and development activities. At the same time, Digital Manufacturing, or Industry 4.0, is transforming the way in which we make goods by generating and transmitting digitally rich component descriptions through supply chains to produce components on digitally-native manufacturing equipment. Critical to the materials and manufacturing enterprise will be developing and transitioning model-based definitions of materials and processes that can be used in design, manufacture, and end product use. The ultimate goal is to accelerate product development, enable novel designs, decrease cost, and enhance product quality. This talk will focus on how the application of digital technologies in both materials and manufacturing are creating new opportunities to bring the two communities together. |
