PREFACE According to the statistics of the volume of the trade, Korea ranked 10th in the world. Everybody mentioned this as “a miracle of the Han river.” Many visitors to my research institute are very curious to know how to make this happen for the last half century. I think the major success was due to the target-oriented economic planning of late President Park Chung Hee who really made a blueprint of the national industrialization since 1962. The first big decision of his economic planning team was to build the steel mill at Pohang, POSCO in 1965. In 1966, he decided to build up the second research institute in Hongneung, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) with the help of the then President of the U.S., L. Johnson, similar to the Battelle Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio. In 1971, the graduate school of Korea Advanced Institute of Science (now Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) was launched in Hongneung next to KIST to produce research scientists and engineers for revamping domestic industry. The whole series of investment plan was very daunting because the gross national income per capita was less than 100 US$ in the early 60s. As part of such economic plans the industrial complex for mechanical engineering was introduced in Changwon area where Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) was established in 1976 to inspect the materials, machine parts and products. In 1992, KIMM moved to the Daedeok Science town where around 20,000 research scientists are working at the thirty national research institutes and two national universities, etc. Total number of companies reached 1300 as of 2012 and their sales volume was around 13B US$. Recently, the research and socio-economic environment has become more challenging because of the rapid growth of private research institutes and international competition. In order to cope with such challenges, R&D strategy needs to be changed to improve the research throughput and technology transfer to the industry, especially to the small- and medium-sized companies. In addition, KIMM should encourage research scientists to make more spin-off companies and have more domestic and international collaborations because the world market becomes more dynamic and global. Thus, the International Forum Korea on Advances in Mechanical Engineering (IFAME), hosted by the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), was planned to hold in Daejeon, Korea, on October 24, 2014. With 237 participants, the Forum had fruitful presentations and discussions by renowned speakers from industry, academia, and research institutions around the world on new initiatives, action plans, and best practices concerning spearheading technological advances in the field of mechanical engineering, in particular, for next-generation manufacturing technologies including bio nanotechnology, energy and the environment as well as roles and perspectives of public research institutions. In this Forum, we tried to seek for promising future technologies in mechanical engineering and measures to strengthen national competitiveness. In ‘next-generation manufacturing technologies’ session, Professor and Director Taylan Altan of the Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing at the Ohio State University, Mr. Guenther Klopsch of Siemens Ltd. Seoul, Vice President Sangwhui Cho of Hyundai-Rotem Company, Managing Director Stephen Roth of Bayerisches Laserzentrum GmbH, and distinguished Professor Luke P. Lee of UC Berkeley presented on next-generation metal forming, laser processing along with Industrie 4.0, modular manufacturing, and development of molecular diagnostic systems, respectively. They shared the view that manufacturing technologies will evolve in ways that ensure: improvements in both productivity and precision, energy saving, enhanced life cycle of products, flexible production, and cost reduction. We also explored bio-inspired medical technology which requires not only ba…
