The goal of this project is to provide students and designers with improved access to new layered manufacturing processes including MicroElectro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) technologies. Together, these technologies can facilitate the design of new classes of products that would be difficult, if not impossible, to build with currently available manufacturing techniques. These processes are capable of generating dense, multi-material parts with complex shapes; the size of device features may range over six orders of magnitude; and the range of materials includes metals, plastics and ceramics. This spectrum of integrated additive and subtractive fabrication processes will be linked by SDM And MEMS Unified Exchange Language (SAMUEL) service. The SAMUEL service will provide a common interface and rapid access to two manufacturing processes: SDM and MEMS. Creating the SAMUEL service will demonstrate that designers who are unfamiliar with details of the manufacturing processes can rapidly create physical artifacts and explore new design ideas. Through a standard interface, designers will able to access the SDM and MEMS manufacturing sites and quickly incorporate manufacturing process constraints into their design system. The manufacturing constraints can be expressed as rules for invocation at the design level.

该项目的目标是为学生和设计师提供更好地接触新的分层制造工艺的机会，包括微电子机械系统(MEMS)和形状沉积制造(SDM)技术。总而言之，这些技术可以促进新类别产品的设计，这些产品即使不是不可能，也很难用现有的制造技术来制造。这些工艺能够生产出形状复杂的致密、多材料零件；设备特征的尺寸可能超过六个数量级；材料的范围包括金属、塑料和陶瓷。这一系列集成的加法和减法制造工艺将通过SDM和MEMS统一交换语言(SAMUEL)服务联系起来。Samuel服务将提供一个公共界面并快速访问两个制造流程：SDM和MEMS。创建Samuel服务将展示不熟悉制造流程细节的设计人员可以快速创建物理构件并探索新的设计思想。通过标准界面，设计人员将能够访问SDM和MEMS制造现场，并将制造工艺约束快速纳入他们的设计系统。制造约束可以表示为设计级别的调用规则。
