Additive manufacturing technologies are widely used in a variety of industries including consumer products, automotive, medical, aerospace, and machinery. The additive manufacturing industry exceeds $5 billion in 2015 and is expected to top $20 billion within the next five years. It has become an extremely competitive area of research in countries around the world. To ensure US' global leadership in this emerging field originated from the US, academic partners (currently including Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), University of Connecticut (UConn), and University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML)) have come together to create the Center for Science of Heterogeneous Additive Printing of 3D Materials (SHAP3D). SHAP3D will serve the diverse interests of industry, government, and academia by addressing fundamental research challenges to meet the commercial needs of industry for 3D printing of heterogeneous materials. SHAP3D will develop the critical and necessary insight into fundamental processing-structure-property relationships to predict and control the integration of diverse materials for 3D printing. The work of SHAP3D will be critical as the industry adopts 3D printing for product prototyping, tooling, and higher volume manufacturing with three specific economic outcomes. First, the Center will pursue higher performance materials and composites that enable diverse and lighter weight products to minimize total life cycle costs and environmental footprint. Second, in order to minimize processing costs, the Center will explore more optimal and parallel processes to more quickly print products with higher resolution. Third, SHAP3D will investigate interfacial physics and design concepts for integrating dissimilar materials to facilitate multi-functional components/products, broaden the number of 3D printed applications, and increase market size. Active collaboration with industry partners will ensure relevance to education and training of the future workforce to expedite the adoption and integration of 3D printing methods into manufacturing processes. The three institutions will create a scholarship fund specifically for the recruitment of diverse graduate students. A portion of this scholarship fund will be directed to underrepresented students from minority serving institutions, including community colleges. Educational programs associated with this IUCRC target undergraduate and graduate students at GT and local community colleges, K-12 students, and industry professionals. The GT site will work closely with GT?s Center for Engineering Education and Diversity (CEED) graduate fellow program to enhance diversity. Integration of materials research and education will be developed in collaboration with partners, such as Institute of Materials, GT Manufacturing Institute, and GT Polymer Network. The GT site will also work closely with the Research Experience for Student Veterans in Advanced Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship (REVAMP) REU site to train undergraduate students in fundamental principles of advanced manufacturing, with a focus on veterans and minority students. In addition, the GT site will disseminate the research results to K6-12 students through school teachers in metro Atlanta area by NSF research experience for teacher (RET) program.The SHAP3D Center will perform research to understand the synthesis, properties, and processing of heterogeneous materials for integration into complex, additively manufactured products. The work SHAP3D envisions would encompass many different additive printing methods, such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA), poly/ink jet, and other additive approaches. The Center will perform fundamental material modeling and processing research to establish and translate validated materials and processes to students and practitioners. The proposed center will enable: (i) the rational design and creation of new material feedstocks and, (ii) the understanding of material properties, protocols, and design rules that must be characterized and developed to optimize the process and predict the properties of products and parts created from multiple polymer materials (e.g., different constituent materials, fillers/additives, and interfaces). GT has extensive expertise and longstanding experience in manufacturing, materials, electronics design and packaging, device fabrication and characterization, and biomedicine. GT will draw on a diverse team of faculty from Mechanical, Materials, Industrial, Chemical, Electrical Engineering Schools. Faculty members from this team will make contributions to the next generation of 3D printed functional multi-materials for functional products with research focused on materials, processes, design, and simulation.

增材制造技术广泛用于各种行业，包括消费产品，汽车，医疗，航空航天和机械。添加剂制造业在2015年超过50亿美元，预计未来五年将在200亿美元中。它已成为世界各国的研究领域非常具竞争力。为了确保美国在这一新兴领域的全球领导力起源于美国，学术合作伙伴（包括格鲁吉亚理工学院（GT），康涅狄格大学（UCONN）和马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔大学（UML）（UML）都组成了共同创建异质性附加印刷3D材料（SHAP3D）的中心。 SHAP3D将通过解决基本研究挑战以满足行业商业需求以满足3D印刷异质材料的商业需求，以满足行业，政府和学术界的各种利益。 SHAP3D将对基本的处理结构 - 培训关系的关键和必要的见解，以预测和控制3D打印的各种材料的整合。 SHAP3D的工作将至关重要，因为该行业采用3D打印来制作产品原型，工具和更高批量制造，并具有三种特定的经济成果。首先，该中心将追求更高的性能材料和复合材料，以使各种体重产品能够最大程度地减少总生命周期成本和环境足迹。其次，为了最大程度地降低处理成本，该中心将探索更最佳和平行的过程，以更快地打印具有更高分辨率的产品。第三，SHAP3D将研究界面物理和设计概念，用于整合不同的材料以促进多功能组件/产品，扩大3D印刷应用的数量并增加市场规模。与行业合作伙伴的积极合作将确保与未来员工的教育和培训相关，以加快将3D打印方法的采用和整合到制造过程中。这三个机构将创建一个专门用于招募不同研究生的奖学金。该奖学金基金的一部分将指向来自包括社区学院在内的少数派服务机构的代表性不足的学生。与该IUCRC的本科生和研究生有关的教育课程与GT和当地社区学院，K-12学生和行业专业人员有关。 GT网站将与GT的工程教育与多样性中心（CEED）研究生计划紧密合作，以增强多样性。材料研究和教育的整合将与合作伙伴合作开发，例如材料研究所，GT制造研究所和GT聚合物网络。 GT网站还将与高级制造业和企业家资深人士（REVAMP）REU网站的研究经验紧密合作，以培训本科生以高级制造业的基本原则进行培训，重点是退伍军人和少数群体学生。此外，GT站点将通过NSF研究经验（RET）计划通过亚特兰大大都会地区的学校教师向K6-12学生传播研究结果。SHAP3D中心将进行研究，以了解将异构材料整合到复杂的复杂性，增强生产的产品中的综合，属性和处理。 SHAP3D设想的工作将涵盖许多不同的添加剂打印方法，例如融合沉积建模（FDM），选择性激光烧结（SLS），立体光刻学（SLA），Poly/Ink Jet和其他添加剂方法。该中心将执行基本的材料建模和处理研究，以建立和翻译经过验证的材料和流程给学生和从业人员。提出的中心将启用：（i）新材料原料的合理设计和创建以及（ii）必须对材料属性，协议和设计规则的理解，这些规则和设计规则必须经过特征和开发，以优化从多个聚合物材料（例如，不同的组成材料，填充物/添加剂/插入）和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface和Interface的多个聚合物材料产生的过程和部分。 GT在制造，材料，电子设计和包装，设备制造和表征以及生物医学方面具有丰富的专业知识和长期经验。 GT将借鉴机械，材料，工业，化学，电气工程学校的多元化教师团队。该团队的教职员工将为下一代的3D打印功能多物质的功能产品做出贡献，该功能产品侧重于材料，过程，设计和模拟。
