This congress proceedings provides recent research on leading-edge manufacturing processes. The aim of this scientific congress is to work out diverse individual solutions of "production at the leading edge of technolgy" and transferable methodological approaches. In addition, guest speakers with different backgrounds will give the congress participants food for thoughts, interpretations, views and suggestions.

The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a profound structural change, which on the one hand produces innovative solutions through the use of high-performance communication and information technology, and on the other hand is driven by new requirements for goods, especially in the mobility and energy sector. With the social discourse on how we should live and act primarily according to guidelines of sustainability, structural change is gaining increasing dynamic.

It is essential to translate politically specified sustainability goals into socially accepted and marketable technical solutions. Production research is meeting this challenge and will make important contributions and provide innovative solutions from different perspectives.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Welf-Guntram Drossel studied Information Technology and Technical Acoustics at the Technische Universität Dresden and obtained his doctorate in the field of simulation of forming processes in 1998 at the Institute for Metal Forming at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. In 2004 he gained a teaching position at the Technische Universität Chemnitz in Machine Tools Mechatronics, became Associate Professor in 2006 and was appointed to the full professorship of Adaptronics and Functional Lightweight Design in 2014. He has also been Director of the Fraunhofer-Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology since October 2014. Prof. Drossel is an Associate Member of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP) and Board Member of the European Research Association for Sheet Metal Working. He is also consultant for several Science Foundations.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Hintze studied Mechanical Engineering at the TU Braunschweig, where he became research assistant working on gear grinding and dressing. In 1985 he moved to the TU Hamburg (TUHH) and received his doctorate in 1990 dealing with the model-based chip break assessment. Subsequently, he was responsible at Krupp Widia for the development and rapid prototyping of indexable inserts, the test field and demonstration center. In 1999 he took over the production engineering department of IPMT at the TU Hamburg. His main areas of research include machining technologies for lightweight structures, e.g. for CFRP and titanium, and extremely hard machining as well as digitalized machining systems. Since 2008 he is in a research cooperation with Fraunhofer IFAM and has developed innovative solutions for the automated production and assembly of large structures on a scale of 1:1. Since 2009 Prof. Hermann Lödding and Prof. Wolfgang Hintze lead the IPMT together.
