This NSF award will support student participation at the Thirty-First Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium, Austin, Texas, 17-19 August 2020. The SFF Symposium is a forum for transfer and dissemination of knowledge and understanding in the field of additive, freeform and hybrid manufacturing. The 2019 meeting drew 702 researchers from 25 different countries representing universities, companies and national laboratories. Similar attendance is expected in 2020 and students will have opportunities to interact and share ideas with top researchers from academia, research laboratories, industry, and students from both domestic and international universities.In an effort to make the conference affordable, and therefore accessible to students, the travel award will contribute towards the conference registration fees of qualified awardees. The call for student support applications will be disseminated through: (1) emails to corresponding authors of submitted abstracts (due in April 2020), (2) emails to participants of recent SFF meetings (2017-2019), (3) SFF website and (4) social media (newsletter and LinkedIn posts). Submitted applications will go through a selection process by the conference committee using selection criteria that include (1) students must be from US institutions and (2) students must be actively participating in the conference through presenting a paper or poster, or participating in a competition, with preference given to students from underrepresented minorities. Student awardees will be invited to a luncheon panel discussing research and future career opportunities in additive manufacturing. This award will afford the next generation of leaders a global perspective, exposure to the latest cutting-edge ideas, and insights on future manufacturing challenges.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.

该NSF奖将支持学生参与2020年8月17日至1920年8月17日至9日在得克萨斯州奥斯汀的第31个固体自由形式制造（SFF）。 2019年会议吸引了来自25个不同国家的702名研究人员，代表大学，公司和国家实验室。预计将在2020年将有类似的出席率，学生将有机会与来自国内和国际大学的学术界，研究实验室，行业以及学生的顶级研究人员进行互动和分享想法。在努力使会议负担得起的会议上，因此学生可以访问会议，旅行奖将为合格获奖者的会议注册费做出贡献。学生支持申请的呼吁将通过：（1）发送给已提交摘要的相应作者的电子邮件（2020年4月到期），（2）发送给最近SFF会议的参与者（2017-2019），（3）SFF网站和（4）社交媒体（新闻通讯和LinkedIn帖子）。提交的申请将使用包括（1）学生必须来自美国机构的选拔标准进行会议委员会的甄选过程，并且（2）学生必须通过提出论文或海报或参加比赛，而对竞争的学生则必须积极参与会议，并偏爱来自人数不足的少数人的学生。学生获奖者将被邀请参加午餐小组，讨论添加剂制造业的研究和未来职业机会。该奖项将为下一代领导者提供全球视角，对最新前沿的想法的曝光以及对未来制造挑战的见解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点评估和更广泛的影响来获得支持的。
