Welcome to JSPE

International activities of JSPE

The Japan Society for Precision Engineering (JSPE) wasestablished in 1933. Presently, JSPE has about
4500members, all of whom come from varied backgrounds, including universities, research laboratories, andindustrial organizations.

Precision Engineering – Journal of the International Societies for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology is anacademic journal devoted to the multidisciplinary study
and practice of high accuracy engineering, metrology,and manufacturing. It is associated with the American
Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE) and the European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (euspen).

JSPE was originally established with the purpose ofproviding a forum for mechanical engineers and researchers to freely discuss common issues and future
developments concerning “extremely advanced technology.”
JSPE has since developed to encompass all engineering
fields that require highly advanced technologies and now
plays a leading role in the research and development of
production systems, instrumentation, system control, andCAD/CAM, as well as precision mechanical elements.
JSPE also serves as a center for various research anddevelopment organizations that are directed towards theadvancement of new technology. Some topics of interest
are micromachining, bioengineering, and product lifecycle
engineering, to name but a few.
The benefits of becoming a JSPE member include access to the wealth of information on precision engineeringin JSPE’s journals, as well as the opportunity to participate in meetings, conferences, tutorial lectures, plant

ICPE (International Conference on Precision Engineering), sponsored by JSPE, ASPE and euspen, is a conference held every two years for the promotion of research
activities in precision and production engineering.
ASPEN (Asian Society for Precision Engineering andNanotechnology) is an umbrella organization designed topromote collaboration among academic and industrial societies in Asia. JSPE plays an important role in ASPEN.

Web ClassProfessor Norio Taniguchi, who was 14th presidentof JSPE, presented the concept of nanotechnology
in the first ICPE in 1974 (N. Taniguchi, On the Basic
Concept of “Nano-technology”, Proc. Int. Conf. Prod.
Eng. Tokyo, Part II, Japan Society of Precision Engineering, 1974, pp.18-23.). A brand new term of“Nanotechnology” at that time has become so popular and common today.
After then, JSPE has been conducting intensive research on nano-scale fabrication and measurement
technology.

The fiscal year is from February 1 to January 31 of the following year.
Please choose "Corporate Membership" for corporate-based groups.
“Regular Member (Young)” applies to those under 27 years old as of thebeginning of the fiscal year (February 1).
