Industry Survey of Nanomanufacturing Trends and Interests

美国国家制造科学中心(NCMS)将对传统工业(如金属和胶合体材料)的趋势、兴趣和纳米制造技术的活动进行研究，作为2003年1月在亚利桑那州伯明翰举行的NSF三维纳米制造研讨会的筹备活动，该研讨会将与NSF设计和制造受赠者会议一起计划。行业受访者将就其组织在研发、投资、人员配备、生产实施、成功案例以及未来采用纳米技术的产品计划等方面进行民意调查。这项调查可在以下网站上查阅：http://www.ncms.org/nsfsurvey.htm.NCMS是一个非营利性组织，总部设在密歇根州安娜堡，是北美制造业合作研究、信息、知识和专业知识的主要提供商。在150家企业成员的支持下，NCMS在先进材料、电子产品、高性能加工、过程控制、快速成型/制造、企业集成、信息技术和环境意识方面引领了数百项进步，所有这些都集中在提高国家制造业在全球经济中的竞争力。

The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) will undertake a study of conventional industry (such as metallic and plymeric materials) trends, interests and activities in nanomanufacturing technologies, as a preparatory input activitity to the NSF Workshop on Three-Dimensional Nanomanufacturing: Partnering with Industry, planned in conjuction with the NSF Design and Manufacturing Grantees Conference, Birmingham, AL in January 2003. Industry respondents will be polled on their organization's plans for R&D, investments, staffing, production implementation, success stories, and plans for future products incorporating nanotechnology. The survey may be accessed at: http://www.ncms.org/nsfsurvey.htm. NCMS is a not-for-profit organization, based in Ann Arbor, MI, and a premier provider of collaborative research, information, knowledge and expertise to the North American manufacturing community. Backed by 150 corporate members, NCMS has spearheaded hundreds of advancements - in advanced materials, electronics, high performance machining, process control, rapid prototyping/manufacturing, enterprise integration, information technology, and environmental conscientiousness - all focused on enhancing the nation's manufacturing competitiveness in the global economy.
