Synopsis about Speaker:
Dr. Alain Bernard is the vice-president of AFPR (French Rapid Prototyping Association) and its representative in GARPA (Global Alliance of Rapid Prototyping Associations). He had been the head of department Industrial Products and Systems Engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nantes and for research activities during three years (2003-2006). From 2006 up to end of August 2012, he was Deputy Director for Research of Ecole Centrale de Nantes. Dr. Bernard contributed widely to the development of rapid product development concepts (including reverse engineering). His research interests also include knowledge-based systems for Computer-Aided process planning (applied to machining, rapid prototyping and laser digitising), and product and process modelling). He is the publishing director of the national journal “Vigie Prototypage Rapide”.
He is Fellow member of CIRP (International Academy of Production Engineering), Chairman of the Scientific and Technical Committee “Design”. He is also Senior member of SME, member of SPIE, of ASME, of ISPE, of SMA. He, jointly with Prof. McMahon, is Chairman of the IFIP TC5 WG5.1 on “Global Product Development”. He is reviewer and member of the editorial board of the three international journals dedicated to additive manufacturing and also product development (Rapid Prototyping Journal, Virtual and Physical prototyping Journal, International Journal of Rapid Manufacturing) and some others that are concerned with other product development topics (International Journal on Product Life-cycle Management (Chief Editor), International Journal on Product Development, International Journal on CAD/CAM & Computer Graphics (now International Journal of Numerical Engineering), Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering).
He is reviewer for other journals, such as the Computer-Aided Design, Computers in Industry, Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications, Robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing Journal, International Journal on Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Journal of Engineering Manufacture, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, and ASME Transactions Journal of Computing.
