Study of Rapid Prototyping Facilities in the United States Manufacturing Research Community

这个奖项是为了探讨可行性，领域， 应用程序以及实施快速原型的策略 美国制造业研究社区的设施。 的 工作将由一个委员会指导， 制造业研究委员会，并将由专家组成 在机械加工零件制造，先进材料开发 和应用，计算机集成设计和制造， 和小型机械加工车间。 对此的支持者 美国国防部高级研究计划局（DARPA） 和国家标准局 咨询项目预期 这项工作的一个报告描述了可能的战略， 实施快速原型设施概念。

This award is to explore the feasibility, areas of application, and strategies for implementing rapid prototyping facilities in U.S. manufacturing research communities. The work will be guided by a committee selected by the Manufacturing Studies Board, and will be comprised of experts in machined parts fabrication, advanced materials development and application, computer-integrated design and manufacturing, and small machine shop operations. Co-supporters of this effort are Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the National Bureau of Standards. The anticipated result of this work is a report describing possible strategies to implement the rapid prototyping facilities concept.
