Workshop: The Integrated Future of Additive Manufacturing, Design, Production and Qualification; Alexandria, Virginia; July 23-24, 2018

本次研讨会汇集了3D打印领域的领先专家，讨论和确定当前需要解决的挑战以及这个广泛而迅速扩展的领域所带来的革命性未来机遇。跨材料和加工学科组成的跨学科小组，由学术界，政府和行业参与者组成，将为增材制造的变革潜力提供创造性而现实的观点。跨学科的讨论将为就主要问题达成共同协议和寻求创新解决办法的途径提供广泛的意见和愿景。此外，如果这些解决方案成功，将会产生哪些新的商业机会、技术研究领域和其他社会效益。研讨会将于2018年7月23日至24日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的NSF总部举行。增材制造（AM）的未来依赖于功能部件的设计、生产和认证的无缝集成。这三个高级主题将在五个工作组中进行讨论：(1)功能材料和结构，(2)3D打印过程，(3)嵌入式仪器和原位监测和实时过程控制方法，(4)过程信息多目标设计工具，以及(5)物流和大规模定制。每个子主题的前沿、挑战和潜在的解决方案将在工作组之间进行讨论。如果这些挑战得到解决，这些讨论的结果将有助于构建未来的研究领域和机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop brings together leading experts in the field of 3D printing to discuss and identify the current challenges to be addressed and the revolutionary future opportunities enabled by this broad and rapidly expanding field. Interdisciplinary groups formed across material and processing disciplines, and composed of a vibrant mix of academic, government, and industry participants, will provide a creative yet realistic view of the transformative potential of additive manufacturing. The cross-disciplinary discussions will hone a broad range of opinions and visions towards a common agreement on the major issues and avenues towards innovative solutions. Further, if these solutions are successful, what new commercial opportunities, technical areas of study, and other societal benefits will result. The workshop will be held at NSF Headquarters, Alexandria, Virginia, July 23-24, 2018.The future of Additive Manufacturing (AM) relies on the seamless integration of design, production, and qualification of functional parts. These three high level topics will be addressed across five working groups: (1) functional materials and structures, (2) 3D printing processes, (3) embedded instrumentation and methods for in-situ monitoring and real-time process control, (4) process informed multi-objective design tools, and (5) logistics and mass customization. The frontiers of each subtopic, their challenges, and potential solutions to them will be discussed across working groups. The results of these discussions will help frame future areas of research and opportunities if these challenges are solved.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
