Computer-Aided Manufacturing and Design

Recent advancements in computer technology have allowed for designers to have direct control over the production process through the help of computer-based tools creating the possibility of a completely integrated design and manufacturing process. Over the last few decades artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as machine learing and deep learning have been topics of interest in computer-based design and manufacturing research fields. However efforts to develop computer-based AI to handle big data in design and manufacturing have not yet been successful. This Special Issue aims to collect novel articles covering artificial intelligence-based design manufacturing and data-driven design. It will comprise academics researchers mechanical manufacturing production and industrial engineers and professionals related to engineering design and manufacturing.
