Integrating Advanced Manufacturing in Mechanical & Structural Design

Conference

WHEN April 20-21, 2026
9 AM - 5 PM WHERE NYUAD Campus WHO NYU Abu Dhabi Institute By Invitation Interested scholars please contact nyuad.programs@nyu.edu

Advanced manufacturing integrates digital design, additive manufacturing, robotics, and intelligent automation to enable the development of high-performance products across applications including civil and mechanical engineering, biomedical components, renewable energy systems, and microelectronics. These approaches support rapid prototyping, complex geometries, and increasingly customized production. Despite recent progress, key challenges remain, such as robust multi-material fabrication, improved post-processing, predictive models linking microstructure to performance, and upscaling to structural-scale components. This conference brings together researchers and practitioners to examine the current state of advanced manufacturing, address ongoing challenges, and explore emerging opportunities to bridge laboratory innovation with industrial-scale reliability.
