The primary objective of this workshop award is to define and focus research activity in the area of additive manufacturing to accelerate its commercial acceptance, to increase the impact and significance of research, and to articulate a roadmap for research for the next 10-12 years. The roadmap workshop will be held in Arlington, Virginia at the National Science Foundation in March or April, 2009. About fifty leading experts will convene to identify major areas for societal and market penetration as well as areas of fruitful research. Specific research questions deal with appropriate targets for additive manufacturing; technical, operating and analysis advances; affordability milestones; the role of nanotechnology; consideration of energy, power generation and waste heat recovery; bioengineering, medical device, and healthcare; and sustainability. The agenda for the meeting will include four keynote presentations and seven breakouts for simultaneous assessment. A final report based on the results of the workshop will be prepared and broadly distributed to maximize the impact of the effort.Major outcomes of the study will be creation and increased awareness of high-impact research topics in manufacturing; an estimated time-line for technical progress in processes, machines, and materials; a research agenda and partnership opportunities among funding agencies, academics, and industrialists; and synergism of novel concepts for transformational activities in the application and extension of freeform technologies. Increased awareness in the research community of high-impact research areas will increase interest in manufacturing research in general and freeform manufacturing specifically. Technological developments including new industries and applications of technology are anticipated. An understanding should emerge of the potential for additive manufacturing to impact critical areas of energy, sustainability, industrial competitiveness, and national security.

该研讨会奖的主要目的是在添加剂制造领域定义和关注研究活动，以加快其商业认可，增加研究的影响和意义，并在未来10 - 12年内阐明研究路线图。 路线图研讨会将于2009年3月或4月在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿举行。大约五十名主要专家将召集，以确定社会和市场渗透的主要领域以及富有成果的研究领域。 具体的研究问题涉及适当的添加剂制造目标；技术，运营和分析进展；负担能力里程碑；纳米技术的作用；考虑能源，发电和废热恢复；生物工程，医疗设备和医疗保健；和可持续性。 会议的议程将包括四个主题演讲和同时评估的七次突破。 根据研讨会结果的最终报告将得到准备并广泛分发，以最大程度地提高努力的影响。该研究的成果将是创建和对制造业中高影响力研究主题的认识。过程，机器和材料的技术进度的估计时间表；资助机构，学者和工业家之间的研究议程和伙伴关系机会；以及在自由形式技术的应用和扩展中进行变革活动的新颖概念的协同作用。 高影响力研究领域的研究界的认识提高将增加对一般制造研究的兴趣，并专门提高自由形式的制造业。 预计包括新行业在内的技术发展和技术的应用。 了解添加剂制造的潜力应该会影响能源，可持续性，工业竞争力和国家安全的关键领域。
