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 奖项将支持学生参加 2020 年 8 月 17 日至 19 日在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的第三十届固体自由成型制造 (SFF) 研讨会。SFF 研讨会是一个转移和传播增材制造领域知识和理解的论坛，自由形式和混合制造。 2019 年的会议吸引了来自 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 2020 年将有类似的出席人数，学生将有机会与来自学术界、研究实验室、工业界的顶尖研究人员以及国内外大学的学生互动和分享想法。努力使会议负担得起，因此学生也可以参加，旅行奖将用于支付合格获奖者的会议注册费。学生支持申请的征集将通过以下方式传播：(1) 发送给已提交摘要的通讯作者的电子邮件（截止日期为 2020 年 4 月），(2) 发送给近期 SFF 会议（2017-2019）参与者的电子邮件，(3) SFF 网站和(4) 社交媒体（时事通讯和 LinkedIn 帖子）。提交的申请将由会议委员会进行筛选，筛选标准包括 (1) 学生必须来自美国机构，(2) 学生必须通过发表论文或海报或参加竞赛积极参与会议，优先考虑来自代表性不足的少数族裔的学生。学生获奖者将被邀请参加午餐小组讨论增材制造的研究和未来的职业机会。该奖项将为下一代领导者提供全球视野、接触最新前沿思想以及对未来制造挑战的见解。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和能力进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
