Virtual Concept 2008 marzo 2, 2008

IDMME is one of the most famous international conferences in the field of Integrated Design and Manufacturing. The 6 previous events have gathered together more than 3000 high-quality and advanced solutions to be disseminated in the research communities worldwide, thus enhancing industrial innovation.

Virtual Concept is the only international meeting focusing on the topic of Interactive Design and Manufacturing Methods: multi-sensorial virtual prototyping, Virtual reality for industrial innovation, simulation for supporting decision making, etc.

 The 6 previous events have led to the construction of a strong and steady international mixed as well as transversal community.After a world tour and having visited France (Biarritz, Compiègne, Nantes, Grenoble), UK (Bath), USA, Canada (Montréal), Mexico (Cancun), Brazil, Singapore, Australia, both conferences have reinforced the emergence of a large international network of academics, researchers and industry specialists.  The experts coming from research and industry areas bring solutions from their own domains of excellence, which cover Design and Manufacturing Sciences, Virtual Reality, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering,  Mechatronics and Robotics for ensuring the development of efficient tools supporting decision making in innovation.

Starting in 2008, both conferences have decided to get closer and to expand further a forceful community.

All accepted presentations at IDMME – Virtual Concept 2008 will be published.

All participants being accepted for:

• a communication,
