| Description | ||
| The aim of this mini-symposium is to discuss the optimisation, capabilities and development within Additive Manufacturing. The pre-process, in-situ process, and post process aspects of additive manufacturing are important to characterise and understand well how these impact on the final produced part properties. Experimental, fundamental modelling and data analytic developments in relation to additive manufacturing are considered within this mini-symposium. Characterisation of aspects of additive manufacturing production quality will be discussed within this mini-symposium. | ||

| Description | ||
| High-level applications of composite materials at affordable development and manufacturing costs create significant demand for scientific knowledge and computational tools for composite manufacturing. The mechanical behavior of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn, are determined by the forming process. Hence, predicting in-service performance requires full understanding and, preferably, prediction of the complex material behavior during manufacturing. Since 2001, an annual “Composite forming processes” mini symposium gathers researchers from Europe, and also from USA, Asia and Australia, who present their works and exchange ideas in the field of composites forming. The ESAFORM conference became a privileged place for this subject. Experimental and numerical “benchmarks” are set up and discussed within the composites forming mini symposia. The topics of the sessions concern: Material characterization; Constitutive laws; Contact and friction; Forming simulations; Multiscale analyses; Textile forming, Thermoforming; Resin injection; Compression Molding; Fiber suspensions; Natural fibers; Additive manufacturing of composites; Benchmark efforts. | ||
