This book discusses the latest advances in manufacturing and process control with a special
emphasis on digital manufacturing and intelligent technologies for manufacturing and industrial
processes control. The human aspect of the developed technologies and products their
interaction with the users as well as sustainability issues are covered in detail.
Development of new products using 3D printers rapid prototyping systems remote fabrication
and other advanced techniques is described in detail highlighting the state-of-the-art and
current challenges. Other key topics include digital modeling systems and additive
manufacturing together with their applications in a number of fields e.g in bioengineering
biomedicine in the aerospace maritime and military fields or for archeological and historical
purposes such as preserving structures but not limited to this. The book is based on three
AHFE 2018 affiliated conferences i.e. the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Advanced
Production Management and Process Control the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Human
Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing and the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Additive
Manufacturing Modeling Systems and 3D Prototyping which were held on July 21-25 2018 in
Orlando Florida USA.
