This award supports a workshop on machining and machine tool research, to be held at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Alexandria, Virginia, March 5-6, 2018. Machining is a critical approach for the production of high-technology and high value-added products that impact most industries. However, the machine tool industry is under significant international pressure; the hollowing out of machining capability represents a direct threat to national security as well as economic well-being of the United States. The purpose of this workshop is to identify fundamental research needs that will support a resurgence of the US machine tool and expansion of domestic machining capacity. The workshop will bring together key thought leaders from academia, industry, government agencies, trade organizations, and national laboratories for an intensive meeting to identify and prioritize research needs in machining and machine tools.The workshop will last 1.5 days, and will include thought leaders from industry, government and academe to address the future of machining and machine tools as well as the research accomplishments to date and the basic research needs. Invited speakers will make presentations regarding the future needs for machining capabilities and capacities. 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 machining; (2) examine future prospects of machine tools and machining; (3) share perspectives on machining from funding agencies such as Department of Defense (DoD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and NSF; (4) identify needs, gaps, and challenges facing the machining and machine tools topic areas, for both existing products and new enabled technologies; and (5) formulate recommendations for basic research initiatives.

该奖项支持加工和机床研究研讨会，将于2018年3月5日至6日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的国家科学基金会（NSF）举行。机械加工是生产影响大多数行业的高科技和高附加值产品的关键方法。然而，机床行业正面临着巨大的国际压力;加工能力的空洞化对美国的国家安全和经济福祉构成了直接威胁。该研讨会的目的是确定基础研究需求，以支持美国机床的复苏和国内加工能力的扩大。研讨会将汇集来自学术界、工业界、政府机构、贸易组织和国家实验室的主要思想领袖，进行密集会议，以确定和优先考虑加工和机床的研究需求。研讨会将持续1.5天，将包括来自工业界的思想领袖，政府和企业共同致力于解决机械加工和机床的未来，以及迄今为止的研究成果和基础研究需求。特邀演讲者将介绍未来对加工能力和产能的需求。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）回顾机械加工基础研究的最新进展;（2）研究机床和机械加工的未来前景;（3）分享国防部（DoD）、国立卫生研究院（NIH）、国立标准与技术研究所（NIST）和NSF等资助机构对机械加工的看法;（4）确定现有产品和新技术在加工和机床领域面临的需求、差距和挑战;（5）为基础研究计划提出建议。
