This edition presents papers from the 1st International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS 2018, 18-19 May 2018, Danang, Vietnam) that reflect the state-of-the-art in the field of materials sciences and mechanical engineering. The contents of manuscripts from authors representing universities, research institutes, and industrial companies demonstrate the results of the very wide spectrum of research, from micro-nano material design and processing to the application material, the mechanical engineering technology in the industry. The largest number of the papers answer the vital question of how to obtain the advanced properties and technologies required of final task and products by the way of the verifications and selections of the process and control parameters. Other important problems of new special materials are also covered by several researchers. A large group of papers focuses on material modeling as well as the material technologies processes and mechanical manufacturing.
