Student Support for the 2022 Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium – An Additive Manufacturing Conference; Austin, Texas; 25-27 July 2022

该奖项为学生参加2022年7月25日至27日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的2022年国际固体自由形式制造(SFF)研讨会-添加剂制造会议提供参与者支持。研讨会的重点是添加剂制造和3D打印方面的新研发活动。学生和教职员工通过口头和海报会议向添加剂制造、先进制造和更广泛的工程界展示他们的最新研究成果。优先考虑的学生是女性或来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生。这一方法在短期内促进了会议的多样化参与，在长期内促进了STEM领域的多样化参与。这一奖项通过教育熟练和多样化的制造业劳动力使国家受益，他们更好地准备为他们选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。会议在支持和支持添加剂制造/3D打印这一重要领域发挥了重要作用，这项技术无处不在，对所有工业部门都有影响，对社会有益。这次会议是适时的，因为美国对将先进制造业外包的兴趣重新燃起。这一参与者的支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。参加会议的学生和教师对固体自由形式制造、加法制造和加法/减法混合工艺、其基本原理、先进材料和加工、先进表征和应用有了更广泛的看法。研讨会的主题包括添加剂材料的基础、添加剂工艺开发、微观结构分析、工艺建模、监测和控制，以及混合添加剂制造工艺等专门课题。与会者将通过访问几个由国内和国际主要演讲者进行的技术和专业发展讲座，了解其技术领域的最先进研究。学生和年轻教师通过口头和海报演示以及与技术领域同行深入讨论他们的工作来提高他们的沟通技能。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生教育，提高了他们对研究主题的热情，让他们熟悉了对科学职业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新方法。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。

This award provides participant support for students to attend the 2022 Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium – An Additive Manufacturing Conference to be held 25-27 July 2022, in Austin, Texas. The symposium focuses on new research and development activities in additive manufacturing and 3D printing. The students and faculty present through oral and poster sessions their latest research results to the additive manufacturing, advanced manufacturing and broader engineering communities. Priority is given to students who are women or who come from underrepresented minority groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference, in the short term, and in STEM fields, in the long term. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges in their chosen fields. The conference plays an important role in supporting and sustaining the important field of additive manufacturing/3D printing, a technology that is pervasive and impacts across all industrial sectors with benefits to society. This conference is timely because of renewed interest in the U.S in onshoring advanced manufacturing.This participant support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students and faculty a broader view of solid freeform fabrication, additive manufacturing and additive/subtractive hybrid processes, its fundamentals, advanced materials and processing, advanced characterization and applications. Symposium topics include fundamentals of additive materials, additive process development, microstructural analysis, process modeling, monitoring and control, and specialized topics, such as Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Processes. Attendees will learn about state-of-the-art research in their technical areas via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. Students and young faculty enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations and in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their technical areas. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to new approaches for innovative research.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.
