Student Support for the 2017 Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium - An Additive Manufacturing Conference; Austin, Texas; 7-9 August 2017

该奖项的目标是支持80名学生参加将于2017年8月7日至9日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第二十八届国际固体自由形式制造(SFF)研讨会-添加剂制造会议。SFF研讨会被广泛认为是世界上最重要的关于添加剂制造(AM)相关研究的学术会议。2016年，来自全球22个国家和地区的544名大学、国家实验室和公司的研究人员齐聚一堂，他们在为期3天的活动中展示了416场技术演示和海报。通过参加并在研讨会上展示他们的工作，学生们将有机会与各自领域的领先研究人员互动，了解AM研究社区的前沿研究和挑战性问题，并在专业上成熟自己，成为AM研究和开发的未来领导者。

The objective of this award is to provide support for 80 students to participate in the Twenty-Eighth Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium - An Additive Manufacturing Conference, to be held in Austin, Texas, 7-9 August 2017. The SFF Symposium is widely considered the premier academic conference on additive manufacturing (AM) related research in the world. In 2016, it brought together 544 researchers from universities, national laboratories, and companies from 22 countries around the world, who together presented 416 technical presentations and posters during the 3-day event.By attending and presenting their work at this symposium, students will have the opportunity to interact with leading researchers in their field, learn about cutting-edge research and challenging problems across the AM research community, and mature themselves professionally as future leaders in AM research and development.
