About the Conference

The organizing committee of the S2P Conference is pleased to announce a significant expansion of the conference’s scope to include both structural die castings and semi-solid metal processing, reflecting the growing convergence of these technologies in advanced manufacturing. This broader focus creates a comprehensive platform to explore the latest innovations, technical challenges, and emerging opportunities across a wide spectrum of metal casting techniques. The conference is designed to facilitate robust knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers, engineers, and industry leaders shaping the future of high-performance casting and component design.

Research on topics including, but not limited to:

Structural die castings
Semisolid processing
Alloy and composite development and selection
Process technologies
Rheology, modeling, and simulation
Process-material-property relationships
Tooling and die design (including additive manufacturing for tooling)
Economic and environmental aspects
Artificial intelligence applications
Commercial applications

Call for Papers will be posted soon.

Venue
The conference will be hosted at the École Supérieure de Technologies Essaouira, Cadi Ayyad University (www.uca.ma/este/fr) in Essaouira, Morocco. The university offers state-of-the-art facilities and is located in a city known for its rich cultural heritage and scenic beauty. Morocco was chosen for the conference location as it allows visa-free (or easily obtainable visa) access for participants from most countries. A wide variety of international airlines fly into Marrakesh, while limited airlines fly directly into Essaouira. Plans are underway to provide travel assistance from Marrakesh to Essaouira.
