Workshop: Research Needs in Machining and Machine Tools; National Science Foundation; Alexandria, Virginia; March 5-6, 2018

该奖项支持将于2018年3月5日至6日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市国家科学基金会（NSF）举行的加工和机床研究研讨会。机械加工是影响大多数工业的高技术和高附加值产品生产的关键方法。然而，机床行业正面临着巨大的国际压力；机械加工能力的空心化是对美国国家安全和经济福祉的直接威胁。本次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扩大国内加工能力。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关键思想领袖，进行一次密集的会议，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，来自工业界、政府和学术界的思想领袖将讨论加工和机床的未来，以及迄今为止的研究成果和基本研究需求。受邀的演讲者将介绍未来对加工能力和产能的需求。进一步邀请的发言者将从资金支持的需要和预测两方面讨论供资的前景。演讲者将从工业界、学术界和政府部门招募，以获得广阔的视野。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)分享美国国防部（DoD）、美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）、美国国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）和美国国家科学基金会（NSF）等资助机构对机械加工的看法；(4)识别现有产品和新技术在机械加工和机床主题领域面临的需求、差距和挑战；(5)提出基础研究工作建议。

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.
