This book presents selected contributions covering various scientific and technological areas by AITeM (Italian Manufacturing Association). The first part, AITeM Young Researcher Award 2025, written by young AITeM associates, reflects the multifaceted nature of manufacturing research. It explores emerging technologies and interdisciplinary connections to go beyond product fabrication, developing a complex value creation ecosystem for high-value-added global competition. Topics include additive manufacturing, materials processing technology, assembly, disassembly, circular economy, manufacturing systems design and management, quality engineering, production metrology, process and system simulation, optimization, and digital manufacturing.
The second part, White Papers, features three contributions on emerging trends in manufacturing. This book is prepared by Working Groups focusing on strategic research topics in the manufacturing sector, including adaptive processes for the manufacturing of welded profiles and tubes, sustainable and innovative production processes for composite materials, machining for aerospace. This book provides an overview of challenges in these frontier areas, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary and innovative approach from the community to successfully address them.
