WORKSHOP: Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium; Austin, Texas, August 9-11, 1999

实体自由成型(SFF)研讨会为快速成型领域的研究交流提供了一个年度论坛。这次会议吸引了来自世界各地的大学、公司和国家实验室的大约200名研究人员。在1998年的会议上介绍了大约95次演讲和海报。这次会议受到了研究界的好评。SFF研讨会也吸引了世界各地的研究生。之前NSF的支持在过去帮助降低了学生注册费。1999年SFF研讨会将于8月9日至11日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行。这次SFF研讨会可能是世界上关于快速原型制造的最好的研究会议。它对研究人员具有重要意义，并为参与研究的研究生提供了良好的学习体验。

The Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium provides an annual forum for research exchange in the area of rapid prototyping. The meeting draws approximately 200 researchers from universities, companies and national laboratories from all over the world. Approximately 95 talks and posters were presented at the 1998 meeting. The meeting is well regarded by the research community. The SFF Symposium also attracts graduate students worldwide. The previous NSF support contributed to the reduction of student registration fee in the past. The 1999 SFF Symposium will be held at the University of Texas at Austin, August 9-11.This SFF symposium is perhaps the best research meeting on rapid prototyping in the world. It is of significant importance to the researchers and provides an excellent learning experience for the participated graduate students.
