This grant provides funding to support a workshop on the environmental implications of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing, also known as three-dimensional printing, is a suite of computer-automated technologies to fabricate three-dimensional structural and functional parts from metallic, plastic, ceramic, biological, and composite materials. The workshop will help identify the environmental implications and research needs related to additive manufacturing and further inform a research agenda. It will build productive, on-going collaborations among users of additive manufacturing and a wide range of researchers involved in the impact assessment of emerging technologies. The ideas coming from the workshop attendees will be helpful to policymakers setting environmental priorities as well as organizations developing research strategies and educational activities. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for disseminating information and sharing ideas about the emerging technology of additive manufacturing and its impact on the environment and occupational health. The workshop will review the existing research on environmental impacts of additive manufacturing; identify knowledge gaps and uncertainties that could help inform an agenda for future research into environmental impacts of additive manufacturing; and expand the research community focused on these environmental and energy-use issues by including researchers with backgrounds in industrial ecology, energy and materials mass balance assessments, lifecycle analysis, and environmental risk assessment. The major intellectual outcomes of this workshop include a research agenda for environmental and occupational health issues that proactively addresses future uses of additive manufacturing and a research consensus between the additive manufacturing community and the environment and lifecycle assessment community. This workshop is distinct from previous additive manufacturing-related workshops in its focus on environmental implications.

该赠款提供了资金，以支持有关添加剂制造的环境影响的研讨会。添加剂制造（也称为三维印刷）是一套计算机自动化技术，可制造来自金属，塑料，陶瓷，生物学和复合材料的三维结构和功能零件。研讨会将有助于确定与添加剂制造有关的环境含义和研究需求，并进一步为研究议程提供信息。它将在增材制造的用户以及参与新兴技术影响评估的广泛研究人员之间建立富有成效的合作。来自研讨会参与者的想法将有助于制定环境重点以及制定研究策略和教育活动的组织。该研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，以传播信息并分享有关增材制造技术及其对环境和职业健康的影响的想法。研讨会将审查有关添加剂制造的环境影响的现有研究；确定知识差距和不确定性，这些差距和不确定性可以帮助为未来对添加剂制造的环境影响进行研究的议程；并通过包括具有工业生态，能源和材料质量平衡评估，生命周期分析和环境风险评估的研究人员，扩大关注这些环境和能源利用问题的研究界。 该研讨会的主要智力成果包括针对环境和职业健康问题的研究议程，可主动解决增材制造的未来用途以及增材制造业社区与环境和生命周期评估社区之间的研究共识。该研讨会与以前与制造相关的研讨会不同，其重点是环境影响。
