This Regional Innovation Engines Development Award is focused on piloting the AM (Additive Manufacturing) Forward partnership announced in May 2022. This project coordinates support for small business suppliers adopting additive manufacturing (AM). AM Forward Florida will drive innovation, economic development, community investment, and job growth across Florida. AM Forward's sponsor companies include Boeing, GE Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Technologies, and Siemens Energy. Each will play an important role in this project, informing requirements and future demand for production technology and materials. The project team will thus explore how best to expedite the qualification of suppliers for industrial production (including small manufacturer partners Sintavia, Keystone, and ACMT Aero). Also driving AM adoption will be a new generation of engineers and technicians - a workforce reflecting diverse experiences. Partners in this project include the nation's leading minority-serving institutions, including Florida International University, Florida A&M University and Florida State University College of Engineering, University of Central Florida, and the University of Florida, the state's flagship research university.Over 18 months of performance, the proposing team will hold six workshops - three participant workshops and three stakeholder workshops - across the state to discern the best orientation of Florida's manufacturing innovation ecosystem. The project will address current limitations in the state’s supplier base, with the fifth lowest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. To reverse this, the project will explore regionally-based AM, pursuing breakthroughs in material formulations, integrated advanced robotics, and composite manufacturing. A range of machine types, materials, and testing processes will be explored to ensure effective AM deployment into Florida supply chains near companies/end-users. Industrial additive manufacturing depends on data management, topology, and analytics for design optimization, build preparation and simulation, in situ monitoring, qualification, and testing. Data-driven qualification approaches based on probabilistic modeling and machine learning will underpin university research. These thrusts will focus on end-to-end solutions, efficient design, automated quality methodologies, ensure repeatability, and support scalability for large throughput. This NSF Engine Development Award will enable the team to develop a full NSF Engine proposal, making it much more informed, realistic, and attainable.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.

该区域创新发动机开发奖的重点是试行2022年5月宣布的AM（添加剂制造）远期合作伙伴关系。该项目协调对采用增材制造（AM）的小型企业供应商的支持。佛罗里达州的前锋将推动整个佛罗里达州的创新，经济发展，社区投资和就业增长。 AM Forward的赞助商公司包括波音，GE航空，霍尼韦尔航空航天，洛克希德·马丁，诺斯罗普·格鲁曼，雷·雷神技术和西门子的能源。每个都将在该项目中发挥重要作用，为生产技术和材料的需求和未来需求提供信息。因此，项目团队将探索如何最好地提取供应商的工业生产资格（包括小型制造商Sintavia，Keystone和ACMT Aero）。驾驶AM的采用也将是新一代的工程师和技术人员 - 反映不同经验的劳动力。该项目的合作伙伴包括美国领先的少数派服务机构，包括佛罗里达国际大学，佛罗里达州A＆M大学和佛罗里达州立大学工程学院，佛罗里达州中部大学和佛罗里达大学，州立大学的旗舰研究大学，绩效18个月，提案团队将举行六个工作室 - 三个参与者的工作坊和三个利益的工厂 - 生态系统。该项目将解决该州供应商基地的当前限制，在美国，该项目最低的制造业工作率最低，以扭转这一点，该项目将探索基于区域的AM，在材料公式，综合的高级机器人和复合制造中追求突破性。将探索各种机器类型，材料和测试过程，以确保有效地部署在公司/最终用户附近的佛罗里达供应链中。工业添加剂制造取决于数据管理，拓扑和分析，用于设计优化，建立准备和模拟，原位监控，资格和测试。基于概率建模和机器学习的数据驱动资格方法将支持大学研究。这些推力将集中在端到端解决方案，有效的设计，自动化质量方法，确保重复性和支持大量吞吐量的可扩展性。 NSF Engine Development Award将使团队能够制定一个完整的NSF引擎提案，使其更加知名，现实和可实现。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点评估来支持的，并具有更广泛的影响标准。
