3D Printing is one of the most promising new manufacturing technologies today, with many applications already and the promise of many more in the future. However, while today's 3D Printing processes can produce parts with very complex geometries, they are slow, rough, and difficult to inspect and this limits their use in industrially-relevant applications. Support will provided for the participation of leading US researchers in 3D Printing in discussions aimed at identifying promising breakthrough approaches to improving 3D Printing with leading researchers from the UK. These workshops will be held in conjunction with two of the leading annual conferences focused on 3DP, one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States.Additive Manufacturing (AM) has huge potential, but currently has technological limitations, including slow build speed, poor surface finish, limited ability of conventional inspection methods to characterize complex AM parts, requirements for temporary support structures that must be removed after process completion, and often poor energy efficiency. Two workshops are proposed, the first on July 7, 2014, the day before the 9th International Conference of Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing in Nottingham, UK, and the second on August 7, 2014, the day following the 25th International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium in Austin, Texas. These workshops will bring together leading researchers in the US and the UK for focused discussions on identifying breakthrough approaches to addressing the limitations in current AM processes.

3D 打印是当今最有前途的新型制造技术之一，已经有许多应用，并且未来还有更多应用前景。 然而，虽然当今的 3D 打印工艺可以生产具有非常复杂的几何形状的零件，但它们速度慢、粗糙且难以检查，这限制了它们在工业相关应用中的使用。 我们将支持美国 3D 打印领域的领先研究人员参与讨论，旨在与英国的领先研究人员一起确定改进 3D 打印的有希望的突破性方法。这些研讨会将与两场专注于 3DP 的领先年度会议同时举行，一场在英国，一场在美国。增材制造 (AM) 潜力巨大，但目前存在技术限制，包括构建速度慢、表面光洁度差、传统检测方法表征复杂增材制造零件的能力有限、工艺完成后必须拆除的临时支撑结构的要求以及能源效率往往较低。 建议举办两个研讨会，第一个研讨会将于 2014 年 7 月 7 日，即在英国诺丁汉举行的第九届国际增材制造和 3D 打印会议的前一天举行，第二个研讨会将于 2014 年 8 月 7 日，即第 25 届国际固体自由形状制造会议的第二天举行。 SFF）研讨会在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行。这些研讨会将汇集美国和英国的领先研究人员，重点讨论确定解决当前增材制造工艺局限性的突破性方法。
