3D Printing is one of the most promising new manufacturing technologies today, with many applications already and the promise of many more in the future. However, while today's 3D Printing processes can produce parts with very complex geometries, they are slow, rough, and difficult to inspect and this limits their use in industrially-relevant applications. Support will provided for the participation of leading US researchers in 3D Printing in discussions aimed at identifying promising breakthrough approaches to improving 3D Printing with leading researchers from the UK. These workshops will be held in conjunction with two of the leading annual conferences focused on 3DP, one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States.Additive Manufacturing (AM) has huge potential, but currently has technological limitations, including slow build speed, poor surface finish, limited ability of conventional inspection methods to characterize complex AM parts, requirements for temporary support structures that must be removed after process completion, and often poor energy efficiency. Two workshops are proposed, the first on July 7, 2014, the day before the 9th International Conference of Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing in Nottingham, UK, and the second on August 7, 2014, the day following the 25th International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium in Austin, Texas. These workshops will bring together leading researchers in the US and the UK for focused discussions on identifying breakthrough approaches to addressing the limitations in current AM processes.

3D打印是当今最有前途的新制造技术之一，其中已经有许多应用程序，并且将来有更多应用。 但是，尽管当今的3D打印过程可以产生具有非常复杂的几何形状的零件，但它们缓慢，粗糙且难以检查，这限制了它们在与工业相关的应用中的使用。 支持美国领先研究人员参与3D印刷的支持，旨在确定与英国领先的研究人员改善3D印刷的有希望的突破方法。这些研讨会将与两个主要的年度会议一起举行，重点是3DP，一个在英国，一个在美国。addivity Manufacturing（AM）具有巨大的潜力，但目前具有技术的限制，包括技术限制，包括缓慢的构建速度，较差的地表效果，表面效果，常规检查能力有限的常规检查能力，可以对临时支持的良好零件，经常效果进行效果，并在过程中得到验证，并在启用过程中得到验证，并且在逐渐验证了一份能力，并且在逐步完成了能力。 提出了两次研讨会，该研讨会于2014年7月7日举行，即在英国诺丁汉举行的第9届国际添加剂制造和3D印刷的前一天，以及2014年8月7日的第二届国际印刷，第二天是在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第25届国际国际固体自由形成（SFF）研讨会。这些研讨会将汇集到美国和英国的主要研究人员，以重点讨论确定解决当前AM流程中局限性的突破方法。
