The Fifth CMI Symposium was successfully held with attendance of many people.
We have posted the presentation materials, so please refer to it.
|
The world’s aircraft industry is maintaining a high rate of growth of 5% per year by the development of globalization. Besides, aiming improvement in fuel efficiency, difficult-to-cut materials, for example, CFRP, titanium and Al-Li alloy, are being applied to aircrafts to make the airframe lighter. For high performance cutting of these materials, development of new manufacturing technology is necessary. In April 2013,CMI, a project through industry-university-government collaboration was launched for this purpose. |
 Poster of CMI Symposium (English Version) |
| In this symposium, lectures of latest aircraft market trends and technical trend will be given and we will also introduce the results of CMI Activities and activity policy for the future. | |
| For research efficiency, almost all of the research facilities were moved to Kashiwa Campus. We will hold this symposium here at Kashiwa and after the symposium, we will have a facility tour so we very much welcome your participation. |
