Abstract and Registration

The Swiss Advanced Manufacturing Community Events (SAMCE) are especially made for junior scientists, such as graduates, doctoral students and postdocs, as well as other academic staff active in advanced manufacturing in Switzerland. We also welcome senior master students who want to present their research activities and projects in advanced manufacturing that are related to their master theses.

We are looking for active participants who strive for scientific exchange and who are prepared to share and discuss ideas, to support and to work with colleagues across disciplines and institutions. We are looking for contributions for the following 12 session topics referring either to production technologies or to cross-technology topics:

Production Technologies

Cross-Technology Topics

Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing

Light-induced and Laser Processing

Coating and Printing

Nano-Fabrication

High Precision Machining and Forming

Joining

Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies

Product Development
and Design

Process and Quality Monitoring and Control

Robots, Automation, and Learning Systems

Modelling and Simulation

Functionality Integration

With our main event we aim to bring together and inspire our community in advanced manufacturing. We have a dense and diversified program with different modules which are described in more detail on this page.

Below you can find a preliminary program.

The participation in SAMCE 2023 is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited to 150. Priority is given to participants who submit a contribution.
The following extended deadlines apply:

August 16 - Abstract submission (Please us the template)
August 25 - Registration without a contribution

You can give two kinds of talks:

CONNECT
Early stage researchers shortly present a challenge they are currently facing and for which they are seeking a new perspective.

IGNITE
Researchers present in short pitches new cutting-edge technologies and their ideas on how they cross borders and enter unknown territory.

Each talk lasts 3 minutes. Every session is followed by an EXCHANGE module (30 minutes) where speakers can discuss their pitches with other participants. The different program modules are described in more detail on this page.
