3rd International Conference on Multi-material Micro Manufacture - 4M2007
- Product miniaturisation through innovative integration and development of knowledge-based technologies and production concepts (especially micro and nano) for the processing of non-silicon materials;
- Prediction of product and process performance to reduce/manage the risk during product development and production, and to reduce time to market for the next generation of microsystems-based products;
- Future product platforms to meet the requirements of the next generation of microsystems-based products, and of more stringent regulations and environmental legislation; and
- Production scale-up to ensure effective and efficient transfer of product and technology ideas from laboratories to serial production.
After Karlsruhe 4M2005 and Grenoble 4M206( http://www.4m-net.org/Conference/4M2006 ), we will be very pleased to welcome you in the mountain resort of Borovets, Bulgaria for the 3rd International Conference on Multi-Material Micro Manufacture: 4M2007. The First Call for papers is available on our website now.
We look forward to meeting you at the next gathering of the 4M Community in Borovets from 3rd to 5th October 2007

CF24 3AAThe main aim of 4M is to develop Micro- and Nano- Technology (MNT) for the batch-manufacture of micro-components and devices in a variety of materials into user-friendly production equipment, processes and manufacturing platforms for incorporation into the factory of the future. To achieve this the Network seeks to integrate currently fragmented R&D capacity in non-silicon microtechnologies in the ERA into a European Centre of Excellence. The establishment of such an expert resource and infrastructure at the European level is designed to help European companies engaged in satisfying the growing demand for portable, wireless communication products and many lifestyle, health and transport related systems incorporating MNT.
