Integrated Computational Materials Engineering Selected Conclusions • ICME is a technologically sound concept which: • Offers a solution to the integrated product development cycle time dilemma • Where successfully applied has a significant ROI • Industrial acceptance of ICME is hindered by the slow conversion of science-based materials computational tools to engineering tools and by the scarcity of materials engineers trained to use them. • ICME as a discipline within materials science and engineering does not yet truly exist - ICME is in it’s infancy. • For ICME to succeed, it must be embraced as a discipline by the materials science and engineering community
