America Makes美国国家添加剂制造商加速器已宣布了四个新的项目呼吁，旨在推动工业3D打印的成熟。每个项目都涉及添加剂制造业或附近的一个或多个区域，包括材料数据，过程监控，数据管理，教育和劳动力发展。
美国执行董事约翰·威尔辛斯基（John Wilczynski）指出：“我们对这四个项目的呼吁感到非常兴奋，因为他们向美国作为一名学院所做的核心 - 召集，坐标和催化AM社区。该公告定义了一个重要的机会，可以在成员和利益相关者之间建立更牢固的协作关系，并允许我们满足研究所以前未经探索的供应链需求。”
The four project calls
The four new calls will offer a total of $2.1M to the best submissions. Each project call has its own specification and submission requirements which prospective awardees must adhere to.
The Open Project Call旨在定义特定的，可行的重点领域，以满足美国的需求使成员和利益相关者。它将涉及该研究所现有成员和工作组之间的大量合作。
AM for Hypersonric Project Call全部旨在开发添加性生产的高温金属，重点是高音应用。预计该项目将能够解决传统制造过程的某些缺点，成本较低，绩效更高和交货时间较短。
成员驱动的快速创新电话looks to solve immediately actionable issues raised by America Makes members. The end result will be an ‘agile framework’ that the Institute can use to adapt to ever-evolving supply chain challenges through direct member input and suggestions.
政府驱动的快速创新呼吁is very similar to the Member Driven call and will follow the same process, except it will gather the needs of government stakeholders. Full details of the four projects will be made available from August 4 on theAmerica Makes webpage。
Advancements in defense
由于其国防部的支持，美国成为了使用3D打印技术的许多国防项目。就在上个月，该研究所授予航空航天公司Raytheon Technologieswith $841K toadvance 3D printed military optics。雷神的‘拓扑优化反射性光学器件submission will see the development of a revamped software workflow for the laser powder bed fusion process.
在其他地方，美国签署了3.22亿美元的交易U.S. Air Force Research Laboratoryto推进采用添加剂制造as a whole. The seven-year deal will result in the establishment of a more robust and capable manufacturing base specifically for additive technologies.
