A continuous development of advanced manufacturing technologies have been accredited with the aerospace industry. Year after year the demand for economic manufacturing, reduction of fuel consumption while increasing the range at the same time is pursued. This requires a high level of productivity and maximum quality. To achieve these goals, an up-to-date technological development within the industry is necessary. With new machine developments, innovative production engineering, efficient process planning and organization concept, production technology makes an essential contribution to the further development of globally active companies. The MIC2015 is presented from the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools in cooperation with the Machining Innovations Network e.V. and takes place at the Hannover Centre for Production Technology (PZH, Garbsen, Germany). Renowned experts from industry and research will present the latest trends, newest know-how and research results in 37 speeches. 

The scientific session is sponsored by The International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP). All contributions to the scientific session are published in “Procedia CIRP” by Elsevier.
