IMS publications inform the general public about IMS programs and its activities such as information pamphlets on the organizations goals, the Manufacturing Technology Program for Research, Development, and Innovation. IMS also publishes an annual report.
IMS also supports the Manufacturing Technology Platform research by publishing booklets to help nascent projects inform the global community for promotion and consortium building. It also publishes IMS project success stories submitted by researchers to disseminate research results. Every two years, these success stories are consolidated into a book for global distribution.
These publications are available for download in PDF format, and are also available in hard cover through your local IMS Regional Secretariat. IMS publications are in the public domain and are available at no charge, however, any intellectual property contained in the publications are owned by the researchers and/or institutions they represent.
