This INSPIRE award is partially funded by the Engineering and Systems Design and the Manufacturing programs in the Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation Division of the NSF Engineering Directorate and by the Information Integration and Informatics Program in the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems in the NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate.The objective of this research project is to establish a universal formal computational model for the information that flows from design into additive manufacturing. This model plays a role similar to that of the Church-Turing model that underlies general computation. It describes part geometry and materials while connecting to the physics that underlies a part. The computational model is necessary to embody complex information and enable new behaviors in ways that existing tools and technologies cannot accommodate.In the new world of additive manufacturing, the central embodiment of an artifact, the thing that we buy and sell and improve, will be the information used to additively manufacture an object, not the object itself. This project is developing a language in which to express that information, a language sufficiently rich and rigorous to unleash design capabilities and control manufacturing processes. Development of such a language / model is a critical step to bringing the Maker culture into the economic mainstream.

该 INSPIRE 奖项的部分资金来自 NSF 工程局土木、机械和制造创新部门的工程和系统设计和制造项目，以及 NSF 计算机和信息科学与工程局信息和智能系统部门的信息集成和信息学项目。该研究项目的目标是为从设计到增材制造的信息建立一个通用的正式计算模型。 该模型的作用类似于作为一般计算基础的 Church-Turing 模型。它描述了零件的几何形状和材料，同时连接到零件背后的物理原理。 计算模型对于体现复杂信息并以现有工具和技术无法适应的方式实现新行为是必要的。在增材制造的新世界中，工件的核心体现，即我们买卖和改进的东西，将是用于增材制造物体的信息，而不是物体本身。 该项目正在开发一种表达该信息的语言，这种语言足够丰富和严格，可以释放设计能力并控制制造流程。 开发这样的语言/模型是将创客文化带入经济主流的关键一步。
