This award supports a workshop to bring together additive manufacturing researchers in the broad field of health. Additive manufacturing describes a collection of manufacturing processes that produce parts layer-by-layer, controlled by a computer, and without the use of expensive tools or dies. This manufacturing strategy has been an enabling technology for a large number of existing and emerging biomedical research and medical industry applications, and the approach has become widespread in recent years. Additive manufacturing is expected to fundamentally change the nature of advanced manufacturing and revolutionize many areas of research in the 21st Century. The workshop will help realize the full potential of additive manufacturing technology for various health-related applications and products. First, the increased awareness of additive manufacturing for health will increase the level of interest in manufacturing research in general and additive manufacturing in particular. Any research thrusts initiated subsequently based on workshop recommendations and a better understanding of additive manufacturing for health are expected to increase the further adoption of additive manufacturing in various medical research and development efforts.The workshop will last 1.5 days, and will include thought leaders from industry and academe to address the future of additive manufacturing in health as well as the research accomplishments to date and the basic research needs. Invited speakers will make presentations regarding the future applications of additive manufacturing in health. Further invited speakers will address funding perspectives, both in terms of needs and the prognosis for funding support. Speakers will be recruited from industry, academe, and government in order to obtain a broad perspective. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) review the state-of-the-art in basic research in additive manufacturing for health; (2) examine future prospects of additive manufacturing for health; (3)share perspectives on additive manufacturing for health from funding agencies such as DoD, NIH, NIST, and NSF; (4) identify needs, gaps, and challenges facing additive manufacturing for health, for both existing products and new enabled technologies; and (5) formulate recommendations for basic research initiatives.

该奖项支持举办一个研讨会，将广泛健康领域的增材制造研究人员聚集在一起。增材制造描述了一系列制造工艺，这些工艺由计算机控制，逐层生产零件，而不使用昂贵的工具或模具。这种制造策略已经成为大量现有和新兴生物医学研究和医疗行业应用的一种使能技术，近年来这种方法已经变得普遍。增材制造有望从根本上改变先进制造的本质，并在21世纪世纪彻底改变许多研究领域。该研讨会将有助于实现增材制造技术在各种健康相关应用和产品中的全部潜力。首先，人们对增材制造健康的认识的提高将提高人们对制造业研究的兴趣，特别是增材制造。根据研讨会的建议和对健康增材制造的更好理解，随后启动的任何研究推动力预计将增加增材制造在各种医疗研发工作中的进一步采用。研讨会将持续1.5天，并将包括来自行业和企业的思想领袖，以解决健康增材制造的未来以及迄今为止的研究成果，基础研究需要。特邀演讲者将介绍增材制造在健康领域的未来应用。其他应邀发言者将从需求和资金支助预测两方面讨论筹资前景。演讲者将从工业界、企业界和政府部门招募，以获得广泛的视角。研讨会的目的是：（1）审查健康增材制造基础研究的最新进展;（2）研究健康增材制造的未来前景;（3）分享来自DoD，NIH，NIST和NSF等资助机构的健康增材制造观点;（4）确定现有产品和新技术的健康增材制造所面临的需求、差距和挑战;（5）为基础研究计划提出建议。
