The goal of ISCM is to promote discussion on recent developments in manufacturing of high performance composites and related areas.
Discussions at ISCM involve analysis of emerging issues, the state of the art in composites manufacturing and discussion on those developments that will shape the near future of composites applications.

ISCM has a tradition in aerospace composites manufacturing, but is open to all, who develop composite products for high performance applications, to present their achievements. Non-aerospace related high performance composites applications are therefore very welcome to be presented at ISCM. ISCM 2021 will be held on 3rd to 4th November 2021 at the Centre for Lightweight-Production-Technology, Stade of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Stade – Germany. ISCM is a biennial symposium organized by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR e.V.) and the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory NLR who act as alternate hosts.

ISCM 2021 will focus on the following topics in the context of composite manufacturing:
• Development of manufacturing techniques
• Automated manufacturing
• Material performance
• Cost reduction
• Joining technologies
• Industrialisation
• Novel design methods
• Innovative tooling concepts
• Process control
• Quality assurance
• Certification issues
• Sustainability aspects
• Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul
• Life Cycle Assessment

The scientific committee is looking forward to receive abstracts in the addressed fields.
Scientific committee:
• Prof. Dr. Martin Wiedemann
• Dr. Jan Stüve
• Ir. Henri de Vries
• Ir. H.G.S.J. (Bert) Thuis
