International Conference on Innovative Design and Manufacturing (ICIDM) is the premium conference in design, manufacturing, and innovation. It was created in 2011 by merging two leading conferences: ICMA and ISDM. The series of International Conferences on Manufacturing Automation (ICMA) have a long history starting from 1992 at the University of Hong Kong. The purpose of this conference aims at providing a forum for exchange of ideas between researchers in the areas of engineering automation with a view to fostering a better link between industry and academia. International Symposium on Digital Manufacturing (ISDM) was established by Wuhan University of Technology in 2006. This conference provides researchers, educators, and engineers with a chance to disseminate their latest research results and accomplishments about applications of information technologies in manufacturing. Original unpublished papers are invited in all areas of design, manufacturing, and innovation.
