Visionary Manufacturing Challenges

小行星9626585 这项赠款为美国国家科学院的一项研究提供资金，该研究将确定那些跨越多个行业部门的基本制造挑战，如果成功解决，可能会导致到2010年的时间框架与当前方法的重大偏离。 将介绍有助于克服这些有远见的挑战的最重要的赋能技术，因为这些技术因工业部门而异。 该研究将从国际角度出发，通过获取欧洲、亚洲、加拿大和中南美洲制造公司的投入，并利用美国国家科学基金会下一代制造项目正在开发的信息。 下一代制造业项目正在为工业部门的10年愿景建立行业共识。 这项工作将补充下一代制造项目的其他工作，并利用其成果。 它将为基金会和其他政府机构提供指导，帮助指导他们的资金和研究工作，旨在提高国家制造能力的竞争力。

9626585 Schafrik This grant provides funding to the National Academy of Sciences for a study that will identify those fundamental manufacturing challenges that cut across multiple industry sectors and that, if successfully addressed, could result in major departures from current approaches by the 2010 time frame. The most important enabling technologies that would contribute to overcoming the visionary challenges will be described as they differ by industrial sector. The study will take an international perspective by obtaining input from manufacturing companies in Europe, Asia, Canada, and Central and South America, and it will draw on information being developed through the National Science Foundation's Next Generation Manufacturing project. The Next Generation Manufacturing project is establishing an industry consensus for a 10-year vision by industrial sector. This effort will supplement other efforts on the Next Generation Manufacturing project and leverage its results. It will provide guidance to the Foundation and other government agencies to help direct their funding and research efforts aimed at improving the competitiveness of the nation's manufacturing capacity.
