The 2019 National Academic Symposium on Green Forming and Manufacturing Technology was held from September 20 to 22 at the Jinling Hotel in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. The event was hosted by the Plastic Engineering Branch of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and the Standing Academic Committee of the Green Forming and Manufacturing Technology Conference. Organizers included the Key Laboratory for Precision and Non-traditional Machining (Ministry of Education) at Dalian University of Technology, the National Key Laboratory of Precision Metal Machining at Harbin Institute of Technology, and the National Engineering Research Center for Die & Mold CAD at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Centered on the theme of "Green Manufacturing—Green Forming," the symposium featured keynote presentations by renowned scholars and experts from institutions such as Tsinghua University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Beihang University. It also facilitated targeted discussions on forming and manufacturing technologies, with a focus on areas including casting, plastic forming, welding, and thermal surface treatment.
Today, the demands placed on industrial manufacturing enterprises are becoming increasingly diverse—encompassing higher efficiency, lower costs, superior quality, faster time-to-market, and enhanced competitiveness. These enterprises require specialized solutions to achieve their productivity goals; consequently, 3D optical measurement technology has emerged as a vital component of forming and manufacturing technology, drawing significant attention and discussion at this academic symposium.
At this academic seminar, Pang Yiqing, a representative from XTOP3D, delivered a keynote presentation titled "Industrial Applications of 3D Optical Testing Equipment." She provided a detailed overview of XTOP3D’s optical measurement solutions, which enable manufacturing enterprises to capture 3D data on a wide range of materials and components. These solutions offer insights and analysis to support smart manufacturing, driving improvements in product quality and production efficiency through data.
