The Roadmap for Additive Manufacturing and Its Impact
Source abstract
Abstract
The 2009 Roadmap for Additive Manufacturing is a 92-page research agenda looking ahead 10–15 years. It was the result of a two-day meeting on March 30–31, 2009, in Washington, D.C., funded by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. The objective was to develop and articulate a roadmap for research in the area of additive manufacturing for the next 10–12 years. The report addressed the needs and opportunities for technological advance in five areas: design; process modeling and control; materials, processes, and machines; biomedical applications; and energy and sustainability. There have been over 9,000 downloads of the roadmap report. The purpose of this article is to list the main findings of the report and to describe some of the significant impacts the report has had on the advancement of additive manufacturing technology.
