The 2nd International Conference on Advanced Surface Enhancement (INCASE 2021) – jointly organised by the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) – was held virtually from 7th to 8th September 2021.

Over 100 attendees from 15 countries and territories participated in meaningful discussions on the progress in surface enhancement technologies. Over 60 keynote, oral, and poster presentations were delivered LIVE, with interactive Q&A and networking opportunities. 

We deeply appreciate the support from our sponsors – MFN International LLC, Progressive Surface, and Tyrida International. A huge thank you to the invited speakers – Prof Chen Zhong, Prof Mario Guagliano, Prof Ong Soh Khim, and Dr. Elmar Bonaccurso – for their excellent delivery of the keynote lectures.
