This award supports a workshop on machining and machine tool research, to be held at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Alexandria, Virginia, March 5-6, 2018. Machining is a critical approach for the production of high-technology and high value-added products that impact most industries. However, the machine tool industry is under significant international pressure; the hollowing out of machining capability represents a direct threat to national security as well as economic well-being of the United States. The purpose of this workshop is to identify fundamental research needs that will support a resurgence of the US machine tool and expansion of domestic machining capacity. The workshop will bring together key thought leaders from academia, industry, government agencies, trade organizations, and national laboratories for an intensive meeting to identify and prioritize research needs in machining and machine tools.The workshop will last 1.5 days, and will include thought leaders from industry, government and academe to address the future of machining and machine tools as well as the research accomplishments to date and the basic research needs. Invited speakers will make presentations regarding the future needs for machining capabilities and capacities. Further invited speakers will address funding perspectives, both in terms of needs and the prognosis for funding support. Speakers will be recruited from industry, academe, and government in order to obtain a broad perspective. The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) review the state-of-the-art in basic research in machining; (2) examine future prospects of machine tools and machining; (3) share perspectives on machining from funding agencies such as Department of Defense (DoD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and NSF; (4) identify needs, gaps, and challenges facing the machining and machine tools topic areas, for both existing products and new enabled technologies; and (5) formulate recommendations for basic research initiatives.

该奖项支持将于 2018 年 3 月 5 日至 6 日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大国家科学基金会 (NSF) 举办的机械加工和机床研究研讨会。机械加工是生产高科技和高价值产品的关键方法-增加了影响大多数行业的产品。然而，机床工具行业面临着巨大的国际压力；机械加工能力的空心化对美国的国家安全和经济福祉构成直接威胁。本次研讨会的目的是确定支持美国机床复兴和国内加工能力扩张的基础研究需求。该研讨会将汇集来自学术界、工业界、政府机构、贸易组织和国家实验室的主要思想领袖，举行一次密集会议，以确定机械加工和机床领域的研究需求并确定优先顺序。研讨会将持续 1.5 天，思想领袖将包括在内来自工业、政府和学术界的会议，旨在解决机械加工和机床的未来以及迄今为止的研究成果和基础研究需求。受邀演讲者将就未来对加工能力和产能的需求进行演讲。其他受邀演讲者将讨论资金支持的需求和预测方面的资金观点。演讲者将从工业界、学术界和政府中招募，以获得广阔的视角。研讨会的目标是：（1）回顾机械加工基础研究的最新进展； (2)审视机床和机械加工的未来前景； (3) 分享国防部 (DoD)、美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH)、美国国家标准与技术研究院 (NIST) 和 NSF 等资助机构对机械加工的看法； (4) 确定机械加工和机床主题领域现有产品和新技术所面临的需求、差距和挑战； (5) 制定基础研究倡议建议。
