SFF Symposium Student Support 2011; Austin, Texas; August 8-10, 2011

该奖项为将于2011年8月8日至10日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第二十二届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。约150人将参加，其中约50人是学生。这两个“FAME”奖将是第三次颁发。第一个是高级奖项，称为“自由成型和增材制造卓越奖”（FAME）。第二个奖项是表彰研究人员职业生涯早期的奖项，即“自由成型和增材制造杰出青年研究奖”。还将举行关于可持续性和增材制造的特别会议。会议将汇集该领域的世界专家，以更新和扩展他们对该技术进步的理解。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。该奖项将资助约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 Twenty-Second International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium to be held August 8-10, 2011 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 150 persons will attend, with approximately 50 of these participants being students. The two "FAME" awards will be given for the third time. The first is a senior award called the "Freeform and Additive Manufacturing Excellence" (FAME) Award. The second is an award to recognize researchers early in their career, the Award for "Outstanding Young Research in Freeform and Additive Manufacturing". There will also be a special session on sustainability and additive manufacturing. The conference will bring together world experts in the area to update and extend their understanding of advances in the technology. All meeting papers will be published in a conference proceedings to be distributed to all participants including students. The award will support approximately 50 students. 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.
