NSF Workshop On Advanced Manufacturing Research Needs For The Aerospace Industry

该奖项支持NSF研讨会，重点是确定先进制造业的本科生研究，以支持航空航天工业。研讨会在德克萨斯州的达拉斯举行，因为那里靠近航空航天制造商、服务提供商和制造支持公司。 飞机制造业被认为是美国制造业基地的技术支柱之一。作为一个行业，航空航天制造业直接支持全球高技能和相对高薪的私营部门制造业工作，全行业估计销售额超过2000亿美元，通常约占美国国内生产总值（GDP）的1.4%至1.7%。美国商业（非国防、非航天）航空航天制造业有着影响该行业未来的重大趋势。航空航天复合材料和材料的制造目前已经达到了一个平台，性能很高，但部件成本没有降低。 使用先进制造（如增材制造）进行复合材料开发的起源为促进制造业复兴提供了前所未有的机会。这对降低航空航天价值链生产成本、提高飞机吞吐量至关重要（上市时间），并改善对环境的可持续性（减少碳足迹和最大限度地减少生命周期成本）。研讨会将持续2.5天，将包括来自行业、政府和企业的15位领导人和多达100名与会者，以描述当前的技术水平，并总结了四个领域的未来需求，包括：先进的传感和控制;可视化，信息学和数字制造;先进材料制造;环境和可持续性。 本次研讨会将致力于实现以下五个目标，这些目标共同导致确定具体的研究和教育需求，并启动满足这些需求的国家路线图：（1）检查和审查制造工艺技术、自动化方法和设备的前沿研究，以及工业中正在进行的系统级研究，（2）评估未来前景和展望，包括对先进机械和工艺的使用和需求的增长，（3）收集航空航天工业的短期观点（未来1-3年）和长期（3-10年前）研究问题，（4）确定和制定具体的需求，差距和挑战，在航空航天价值流，（5）制定研究和教育计划的建议，包括必要的后续讲习班，以推进航空航天工业的制造技术和系统。

This award supports a NSF workshop focused on identifying undergraduate research in advanced manufacturing that would support the aerospace industry. The workshop is held in Dallas, Texas due to the proximity of aerospace manufacturers, service providers, and manufacturing support companies. Aircraft manufacturing is considered one of the technological backbones of the U.S. manufacturing base. As an industry, aerospace manufacturing directly supports high-skilled and relatively well-paid private sector manufacturing jobs worldwide and with industry-wide estimated sales of over $200 billion generally accounts for approximately 1.4 to 1.7% of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). U.S. commercial (non-defense, non-space) aerospace manufacturing industry has major trends affecting the future of the industry. Manufacturing of aerospace composites and materials has currently reached a plateau where performance is high but component costs have not been reduced. The origins of using advanced manufacturing such as additive manufacturing for composite development has provided an unprecedented opportunity to promote manufacturing resurgence. This is essential to the reduction of aerospace value chain production costs, increased aircraft throughput (time to market), and improved sustainability to the environment (reduce carbon footprint and minimize lifetime cycle costs).The workshop will last 2.5 days, and will include 15 leaders and up to 100 participants from industry, government and academe to characterize the current state of the art, and summarize future needs in four domains, including: advanced sensing and control; visualization, informatics and digital manufacturing; advanced materials manufacturing, and; environmental and sustainability. This workshop will work to achieve the following five objectives that collectively lead to the identification of specific research and education needs, as well as the initiation of a national roadmap towards addressing the needs: (1) Examine and review cutting edge research in manufacturing process technologies, automation methods and equipment, and systems-level research taking place in industry, (2) Assess future prospects and outlook, including the growth in the use and the demand for advanced machinery and processes, (3) Gather the aerospace industry's perspective of the short-term (1-3 year ahead) and long-term (3-10 years ahead) research issues, (4) Identify and formulate specific needs, gaps and challenges, in the aerospace value stream, (5) Formulate recommendations for research and education programs, including follow-up workshops as needed, to advance manufacturing technologies and systems for the aerospace industry.
