The aim:
up
This journal welcomes original papers
that pertain to state-of-the art research and development, product development,
novel applications, and tools in the areas related to advanced
manufacturing. The journal addresses the utilization of Advanced Manufacturing
Systems (AMS), and AMS technologies that result in higher productivity and
better customer value are emphasized.
Topics:
up
Major technical research areas include
use of materials of different types (metallic materials,
polymers, ceramics, nanomaterials, composites, etc.),
manufacturing processes (casting, forming, shaping, machining, additive
processes, micromanufacturing, joining, surface
treatments, etc.), and machines and appropriate tooling. Other pertinent areas include Assembly
engineering, Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA), automation, robot
applications, FMS, quality engineering, CAD/CAM integration, concurrent
engineering, process planning, production planning and control, information
sharing and networking, and virtual systems.
Paper submission:

first referenced. The font throughout must uniformly be Times New Roman. The
title must be in font size 14, bold, centered and in all caps. The name(s) of the
author(s) should immediately follow in font size 13, bold, and centered. The
title(s) of the author(s) should follow along with the company or institution
name, complete address, telephone, e-mail address in font size 12, regular, and
centered. The words “Abstract”, “Introduction”, and all other main titles
should be in font size 13, bold, in all caps, and aligned left. Subtitles
should be font size 13, bold, aligned left, and underlined. Sub-subtitles
should follow the same formatting, but without underlining. The titles of
figures, tables, and pictures should be font size 13, bold, and centered. The
text of the paper should be font size 12 and justified. Page 1 should contain a
short abstract of about 250 words, including a listing of key words. All acronyms
should be spelled out where first used. Papers should be typed using MS Word,
single-spaced with two columns, and new paragraphs should be indented. in the manuscript, including references to related work. The
Publisher will not place any restrictions on the personal freedom of the
