This book contains the papers presented at the International Joint Conference on Mechanics
Design Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing (JCM 2018) held on 20-22 June 2018 in Cartagena
Spain. It reports on cutting-edge topics in product design and manufacturing such as
industrial methods for integrated product and process design innovative design and
computer-aided design. Further topics covered include virtual simulation and reverse
engineering additive manufacturing product manufacturing engineering methods in medicine and
education representation techniques and nautical aeronautics and aerospace design and
modeling. The book is divided into six main sections reflecting the focus and primary themes
of the conference. The contributions presented here will not only provide researchers
engineers and experts in a range of industrial engineering subfields with extensive information
to support their daily work they are also intended to stimulate new research directions
advanced applications of the methods discussed and future interdisciplinary collaborations.
