The Fourth International Symposium on Automated Composites Manufacturing

The first three International Symposia on Automated Composites Manufacturing were held in Montreal in April 2013, 2015 and 2017. These events were very successful for the composite manufacturing community with participation from many hundreds people from many countries.  The symposia addressed hot topics  in the area of advanced composites manufacturing using automated technologies. They brought together both academia and industrial practitioners and aimed to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications. 

At the request of many, and following the trend toward increased use of automated manufacturing of composite structures, the Fourth International Symposium on Automated Composites Manufacturing (ACM4) is being organized to be held in Montreal April 25-26, 2019.
