The Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC 2023) will be held from 12 June to 16 June 2023 at Rutgers University College of Engineering, New Brunswick, NJ. It is the foremost annual forum for the scholarly exchange of advanced manufacturing research knowledge. It is intended to disseminate the most recent developments in manufacturing research through technical presentations, poster sessions, and panel sessions. Since 2011, MSEC has been co-located with NAMRI/SME's North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC). Together, these co-located conferences represent the largest advanced manufacturing research conference in North America. MSEC 2023 invites all high-quality advanced manufacturing research papers, even if they may not directly fit into one of these symposia.
