J. Stephen Rattler attended the 25th International Symposium on Automotive Technology and Automation in Florence, Italy, June 1--5, 1992. The conference, consisted of seven simultaneous conferences and was attended by over 2,500 scientists and engineers from North America, Europe and Asia, representing every major manufacturer of automobiles in the world. The seven simultaneous conferences focused on technical areas that are of current interest to automobile manufacturers worldwide: enviromnentally-conscious paint technologies, intelligent vehicle highway systems, integration of electronics in automobiles (mechatronics), zero-emission automobile technologies (electric car), alternative materials for automobiles, trends in international environmental regulations and policies, and use of lasers in automobile manufacturing. During the past year, Sandia has met with the three US automobile manufacturers to discuss ways in which computational and experimental spray and coating technologies, developed at Sandia in support of the nuclear weapons program, can be applied to the unique fluid problems associated with automobile painting. The information gathered at this conference will help guide efforts at Sandia to establish a working relationship with the domestic automobile manufacturers in environmentally-conscious automobile painting, and provided valuable insight into how automobile manufacturers worldwide are using computational technologies in the design and manufacture of their products.
