The North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) and International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) are two major international conferences held annually on manufacturing technology. In this year the International Conference on Materials Processing (ICM&P) will join together to promote enhanced conversations with Japanese researchers. The joint conferences truly represent a premier international forum on the latest development of manufacturing technologies and bring together both academ‐ ic researchers and industrial practitioners from around the world for interchange of ideas and to promote re‐ search collaboration. This flagship international meeting establishes a platform to showcase the newest ideas, cutting‐edge research results, and emerging methodologies and tools. In addition to the excellent technical program, the International Manufacturing Research Conference will offer a number of receptions and social events on all four days of the conference including receptions in California Science Center and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and three award luncheons. The program also includes a number of events, including a conference–wide breakfast for all attendees each morning, early career forum and student reception on Wednesday evening, and plant tours on Thursday afternoon. A successful conference depends on many dedicated conference organizing committee, technical program committee, symposium organizers, authors, and reviewers. We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to these members of our community who are devoted to the advances of manufacturing technology. Especially we would like to thank Prof. Lihui Wang (KTH), Prof. Johnson Samuel (RPI), and Prof. Satoshi Kishimoto (NIMS) for organizing the three conferences’ paper review. We also wish to thank our keynote speakers, Prof Jim Davis (UCLA), Professor Friedrich Prinz (Stanford), and Mr. Scott Willoughby (Northrop Grumman) for sharing their experience and insight into the challenges of manufacturing research. Finally, special thanks to Ms. Shelly Lewis at USC for her assistance on administrative side to bring the conferences together. We wish all of you for an enjoyable conference experience and a wonderful stay in Los Angeles.

As leading world‐class societies in the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering fields, SME, ASME and JSME act as global bridges between industries, government laboratories, and academic institutions. This joint conference sym‐ bolizes the continued collaboration between these esteemed organizations in research exchange and knowledge dissemination in the Manufacturing and Materials Processing fields. Each of the collocated conferences includes technical sessions covering the full range of manufacturing topics. Every single paper submitted to the conferences was put through a rigorous peer review process. We are in debt to all re‐ viewers for their critical assessment of a very large number of submissions. NAMRC 45 received over 180 technical paper submissions. Following the review process, 140 papers were accepted for publication in the Proceedings of NAMRI/SME and presentation at the conference in 50 technical sessions. The papers included in the conference address a wide range of basic and applied manufacturing research topics in six tracks: Manufacturing Systems, Manufacturing Processes, Additive Manufacturing, Cyber‐Physical Systems in Manu‐ facturing, Manufacturing Education, and Manufacturing Implementation. Workforce Development and Outreach are combined with the Track of Manufacturing Education. This year, NAMRC 45 will feature the inaugural NAMRI/SME David Dornfeld Manufacturing Vision Award and Blue Sky Competition, funded by the National Science Foundation. The winner of the Blue Sky Competition will receive the NAMRI/SME Dornfeld Manufacturing Vision Award, named in honor of the late Professor David Dornfeld, to recognize outstanding vision and leadership within the manufacturing community. NAMRC 45 will also include a Student Research Presentations Competition. MSEC 2017 received over 291 draft papers and 50 poster submissions. After a rigorous peer review process, 259 technical papers and 42 posters were accepted for presentation in over 96 technical sessions. In addition, the con‐ ference has 9 industry‐sponsored research presentations and a workshop on ‘Game‐changing Ideas for Cost‐effective Low‐Volume Manufacturing’ organized by MForesight: The Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight. This year, MSEC has 30 symposia in 5 Technical Tracks: Additive Manufacturing, Processes, Materials, Manufacturing Equipment and Sys‐ tems, and Bio and Sustainable Manufacturing. MSEC will also feature the Symposium‐Invited Speakers Program, jointly with NAMRC and ICM&P, in three emerging areas: Big Data Implications for Manufacturing Innovation, Addi‐ tive Manufacturing, and Nanotribology. The conference also includes three student‐centric events: Early Career Fo‐ rum, Student Manufacturing Design Competition and the Reusable Abstractions of Manufacturing Processes (RAMP) Competition. ICM&P 2017 has a total of 112 presentations, including 3 keynote talks and 67 papers in over 34 technical sessions. This year the conference has 18 symposia in 4 Technical Tracks: Materials, Processing, Measurement and Evaluation, and Recent Trends in Materials/Processing. This is the fourth joint event between MSEC and ICM&P. ICM&P partici‐ pants have abundant expertise in dealing with different conventional and emerging engineering materials such as, metals, ceramics, various types of composites, and multi‐functional as well as smart materials. In addition they have expertise in the areas of both novel and traditional manufacturing processes. The collocated conference highlights strong technical areas of coherence between SME, ASME and JSME, while simultaneously also being an expression of 3 their distinct identities. This format will unquestionably cultivate a dynamic and stimulating environment to all the participants. The conference program is the result of the outstanding efforts of many people. We would like to thank all the au‐ thors for their technical paper and poster submissions. We also express our gratitude to all the organizers for their dedicated management of the tracks, symposia as well as for guarding the quality of the papers and posters to be presented, which has contributed a great deal to the success of the conference technical program.
