This grant provides support for 80 students to participate in the Twenty-Ninth Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium, An Additive Manufacturing Conference to be held August 13-15, 2018, in Austin, Texas. The SFF Symposium is widely considered one of the premier academic conference on additive manufacturing (AM) related research in the world. In 2017, it brought together 654 researchers from universities, national laboratories, and companies from 20 countries around the world, who together presented 473 technical presentations and posters during the 3-day event. Students will have the opportunity to engage in 3 days of technical sessions focused on the latest advances in AM applications, process development, materials, modeling, and design. All student awardees will be expected to present a paper and/or poster during the symposium and to attend all 3 days of the event. The funding opportunity will be announced broadly and early enough to provide ample time for students to apply. Awardees will be selected by committee and the awards will cover the cost of student registration. By attending and presenting their work in the symposium, students will gain extensive knowledge and understanding of the state of cutting-edge research in AM. They will also have the opportunity for professional development by delivering a technical presentation to a highly knowledgeable audience. Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to network with other professional and student researchers in the AM field and thereby build their personal network of future collaborators and colleagues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项资助为80名学生参加将于2018年8月13日至15日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第29届国际固体自由曲面制造（SFF）年度研讨会提供支持。SFF研讨会被广泛认为是世界上最重要的增材制造相关研究学术会议之一。2017年，它汇集了来自全球20个国家的大学、国家实验室和公司的654名研究人员，在为期3天的活动中，他们共同发表了473项技术演讲和海报。学生将有机会参加为期3天的技术会议，重点关注增材制造应用、工艺开发、材料、建模和设计方面的最新进展。所有获奖学生将在研讨会期间提交论文和/或海报，并参加所有三天的活动。资助机会将广泛公布，并尽早为学生提供充足的时间申请。获奖者将由委员会选出，奖金将支付学生的注册费。通过参加并在研讨会上展示他们的工作，学生将获得广泛的知识和对AM前沿研究状况的理解。他们还将有机会通过向知识渊博的观众进行技术演示来获得专业发展。此外，他们将有机会与AM领域的其他专业和学生研究人员建立联系，从而建立他们未来合作者和同事的个人网络。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
