This book reports on cutting-edge research and technologies in the field of advanced
manufacturing and materials with a special emphasis on unconventional machining process rapid
prototyping and biomaterials. Based on the International Conference on Manufacturing
Engineering and Materials (ICMEM 2018) held in Nový Smokovec Slovakia on 18-22 June 2018 it
covers advances in various disciplines which are expected to increase the industry's
competitiveness with regard to sustainable development and preservation of the environment and
natural resources. Condition monitoring industrial automation and diverse fabrication
processes such as welding casting and molding as well as tribology and bioengineering are
just a few of the topics discussed in the book's wealth of authoritative contributions.
