Student Support: Twenty-Ninth Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium - An Additive Manufacturing Conference; Austin, Texas; 12-14 August 2019

该奖项的目的是支持80名学生参加将于2019年8月12日至14日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第29届国际固体自由形式制造(SFF)研讨会-添加剂制造会议。SFF研讨会被广泛认为是世界上最重要的关于添加剂制造(AM)相关研究的学术会议。2018年，来自世界19个国家的大学、国家实验室和公司的683名研究人员汇聚一堂，在为期3天的活动中共提交了529份技术演示文稿和海报。通过参加并在研讨会上展示他们的工作，学生们将有机会与各自领域的领先研究人员互动，了解AM研究社区的前沿研究和挑战性问题，并在专业上成熟自己，成为AM研究和开发的未来领导者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
