Workshop: SFF Symposium Student Support 2009, Austin, Texas, August 3-5, 2009

该奖项为将于2009年8月3日至5日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的Twentieth国际固体自由成形制造研讨会提供学生支持。 会议包括全体会议和平行会议、技术专题介绍和海报展示会。有足够的时间分配给世界一流的研究人员和学生在正式会议环境中的非正式互动，也在会议期间的非正式社交活动。 大约120人将参加，其中50人是学生。 今年的一项新活动是为优秀的高级和初级（35岁或以下）研究人员颁发年度奖。 青年奖将作为对一个值得的候选人的认可，也为包括学生在内的年轻研究人员提供一个卓越的榜样。 所有会议论文将在会议记录中发表，分发给所有与会者，包括学生。 将资助约50名学生。本次会议是一个在增材自由成形制造领域转让和传播知识和理解的机制。 它是一个促进发现和理解的模式，同时促进教学，培训和学习。 世界一流的研究人员与学生的网络是强大的。 这次会议是研究基础设施的一次会议。 通过大量引用的会议记录，信息被广泛传播到世界各地的研究人员和学生的广泛网络。 社会影响包括确定商业化前技术和分享与自由成形制造有关的信息，这些技术最终将被开发并应用于提高国内生产力的机器和工艺。

This award provides student support for the Twentieth International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium to be held August 3-5, 2009 in Austin, Texas. The meeting is comprised of plenary and parallel session technical presentations and a poster session. There is ample time allotted for informal interactions of world-class researchers and students in formal meeting settings and also at informal social events during the meeting. Approximately 120 persons will attend, with 50 of these participants being students. A new event this year is an annual award for both an outstanding senior and junior (35 years old or younger) researchers. The junior award will serve both as recognition for a deserving candidate and also to provide young researchers including students a role model for excellence. All meeting papers will be published in a conference proceedings to be distributed to all participants including students. Approximately 50 students will be supported. This conference is a mechanism for transfer and dissemination of knowledge and understanding in the field of additive, freeform manufacturing. It is a model for advancing discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training and learning. The networking of world-class researchers with students is strong. The meeting is a pinion for research infrastructure. Through the heavily cited proceedings, information is widely disseminated to an extensive network of researchers and students around the world. The societal impact includes identification of pre-commercial technologies and sharing of information pertaining to freeform fabrication that will eventually be developed and implemented into machines and processes that will enhance domestic productivity.
