该奖项的目的是为80名学生提供支持，参加将于2019年8月12日至14日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第二十九届年度国际固体自由成形制造（SFF）研讨会-增材制造会议。SFF研讨会被广泛认为是世界上增材制造（AM）相关研究的首要学术会议。2018年，它汇集了来自全球19个国家的大学，国家实验室和公司的683名研究人员，他们在为期3天的活动中共同展示了529个技术演示和海报。通过参加并在本次研讨会上展示他们的工作，学生将有机会与所在领域的领先研究人员互动，了解前沿研究和AM研究社区的挑战性问题，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。

The objective of this award is to provide support for 80 students to participate in the Twenty-Ninth Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium - An Additive Manufacturing Conference, to be held in Austin, Texas, 12-14 August 2019. The SFF Symposium is widely considered the premier academic conference on additive manufacturing (AM) related research in the world. In 2018, it brought together 683 researchers from universities, national laboratories, and companies from 19 countries around the world, who together presented 529 technical presentations and posters during the 3-day event. By attending and presenting their work at this symposium, students will have the opportunity to interact with leading researchers in their field, learn about cutting-edge research and challenging problems across the AM research community, and mature themselves professionally as future leaders in AM research and development.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.
