 Following the success of IWM-Symposium 2023 in Singapore and IWM-Symposium 2024 in Rhodes, Greece, where over 100 papers were presented, this event will continue to drive innovation in welding manufacturing. Selected papers from previous symposia have resulted in two Topical Collections in Welding in the World.

 Scope of Welding Manufacturing:
The symposium covers all welding, joining, additive manufacturing, and allied processes, including welding, joining, cladding, additive manufacturing (especially wire arc additive manufacturing - WAAM), repair deposition, and remanufacturing.

 Topics for IWM-Symposium 2025 include but are not limited to:
 Sensing, monitoring, dynamic modeling, and control of welding processes
 Robotization of welding manufacturing
 Human-robot collaborative welding and additive manufacturing
 Application of deep learning, AI, computer vision, and signal/image processing in welding
 Data-driven techniques in welding manufacturing

 Abstract submission deadline: March 1, 2025
 Submit at: IIW 2025 submission site
 Select "Symposium on Intelligent Manufacturing" when prompted.

 Theme for 2025: Generative AI!
 Keynote Speaker: Dr. Qiang Ye (Professor of Mathematics and Distinguished University Research Professor, University of Kentucky), who has led groundbreaking studies on generative AI for intelligent welding.

Submission requirements:
Only abstracts are required (not full papers). However, selected authors may submit full papers within three months for consideration in a Topical Collection of Welding in the World.
Accepted authors for IWM-Symposium 2025 can also participate in the full IIW 2025 event (June 22-27) and present papers in other Commissions if accepted.

Looking forward to seeing you in Genoa!
