This study presents a model-based LCA framework for the ecodesign of battery, integrating performance and durability. Combining existing designer models (usage, electrothermal, aging) with LCA leveraging a Functional Unit grounded in the battery's State of Function, this framework simulates battery aging and predicts lifespan, enabling precise LCI modelling. Applied to ecodesign strategies, the framework uncovers ecodesign opportunities overlooked by classical LCAs. Results highlight trade-offs between extending lifespan and increased energy and resource consumption, the influence of use conditions, and the benefits of multifunctional casing with improved thermal insulation. This approach is implemented in dedicated software used by CEA battery designers.

Jetting printing processes rely on 2D pixel data derived from decomposed 3D models, which are often unavailable in applications such as surface repair and 3D pattern printing. Reconstructing 3D models and decomposing them into 2D pixels is time-consuming, energy-intensive, and prone to accuracy loss. This paper introduces a novel 2D profile-based design and control method, using 2D contour curves to generate precise pixels for jetting 3D volumes. This approach enhances efficiency, accuracy, and agility while reducing costs. Case studies on surface repair and 3D pattern printing validate its feasibility, with potential applications in multi-axis robotic systems and functional surface formation.

The design of lightweight transmission units highlights the importance of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques in gear production; however, it suffers from a limited understanding of the cutting induced surface enhancement mechanism subjected to inevitable negative rake angle cutting (NRAc). This work applies the NRAc method to process hardened AM-produced 17-4PH stainless steel made with 0°, 67°, and 90° hatching strategies, elucidating subsurface alteration mechanisms in distinct crystallographic textures. In-depth microstructural analysis and machinability evaluation revealed that the compressive stress-induced material removal process promotes a refinement-dominated deformation mode, leading to surface strengthening via grain refinement and martensitic phase transition.

This paper presents a novel digital twin framework employing batch incremental learning for geometry assurance. Addressing quality issues caused by part and process variation, the method evaluates three critical tasks: part matching, locator adjustments, and joining sequence. The proposed framework utilizes deep learning architectures, each trained on recursive simulation data. Employing incremental learning, the models adapt to new batch characteristics while maintaining predictive accuracy. A spot welded assembly demonstrated the proposed approach efficiency, achieving prediction accuracies with errors as low as 0.02 mm for part matching and 0.1 mm for locator adjustments.

Transient and selective laser (TSL) processing has attracted attention as an ultrafast, high-precision microfabrication method for glass. In TSL processing, the material is locally excited, and the excited region is selectively removed at ultra-high speed. However, its processing mechanism, dynamics, and applicability to other materials remain unclear. In this study, we visualized the processing phenomena using sub-microsecond-scale ultrafast imaging and nanosecond-scale precise timing control. We revealed that the process is triggered by bandgap shrinkage following electron–phonon relaxation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that this method enables the processing of sapphire—a large-bandgap material—at speeds 25,000 times faster than conventional methods.

Fused silica is widely used in optical systems such as imaging devices, spectrophotometers and telescopes, where surface quality and morphology play critical roles in product performance. To address these stringent requirements, this study proposes a novel laser-enhanced plasma method. This approach integrates a controlled laser beam into plasma processing, which locally activates the fused silica and increases the concentration of plasma active particles by ∼15 %. The technique facilitates both surface roughness and morphology, achieving a surface roughness of 0.28 nm in Sa and a shape error of 7.64 nm in RMS.

Laser powder bed fusion of unsupported overhang structures, required for metamaterial lattices, are difficult to manufacture. In this study, process parameters are experimentally determined to successfully fabricate auxetic re-entrant metamaterial structures. Due to the support-less printing, higher linear energy densities compared to contour and hatch scanning are required to build continuously solidified overhang structures. Simulation results show that the melt pool width and in particular the length is enlarged, promoting loose powder attachment by denudation and balling. Auxetic re-entrant metamaterials are successfully fabricated. Impact tests show good mechanical performance and better energy absorption compared to previous studies.

Workpiece clamping systems (WPCS) constitute core elements of machining systems. As part of the force flow and accuracy path, WPCS influence the performance and efficiency of the manufacturing processes. By functional integration, enhanced capability can be introduced to the machining system. Monitoring, active adjustment and process control can be achieved. The layout, design and optimisation of WPCS should be an integrated element in process planning. For this, computer aided support systems are available. Modelling of WPCS enables virtual analyses of process-workpiece-fixture interaction and makes optimisation possible. This paper gives an overview of the technology of WPCS and introduces future perspectives.

Assembly in future smart factories needs to address three challenges, including human centricity, sustainability, and resilience. Conventional approaches for automation in assembly have reached a bottleneck in terms of operation automomy, leaving various tasks to continued manual labour by human operators. To ease the burden on humans both physically and intellectually, human-centric assembly enhanced by augmented robots, cognitive systems, mixed reality and collaborative intelligence, assisted by thought-driven brain robotic controls, provides a promising solution. Within the context, this keynote provides an in-depth analysis of the state of human-centric assembly and identifies potentially fruitful research directions in future smart factories.
