This book reports on research findings and technologies supporting the paradigm shift toward the Factory of the Future. Gathering peer-review contributions to the 9th International Scientific-Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2026, held on May 19-21, 2026, in Poznan, Poland, it covers research and applications on biomedical engineering in the era of intelligent, data-driven, and digitally integrated healthcare manufacturing. The contributions address the convergence of advanced design, modeling, and fabrication technologies that are redefining how medical devices and products are conceived, customized, and produced. They report on virtual reality applications, assistive robotics, patient-specific implants, advanced materials, and more. Offering a timely, practice-oriented and multidisciplinary reference guide for both researchers and practitioners in manufacturing and biomedical engineering, this book is also intended to bridge the gap between university and industry, fostering a closer communication and cooperation between them.
