HARNESSING MATERIALS INNOVATIONS TO SUPPORT NEXT-GENERATION MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES
CO-SPONSORED WITH THE MINERALS, METALS & MATERIALS SOCIETY (TMS)
OUTCOMES
HIGH PRIORITY TOPICS
Through roundtable discussions, workshop participants identified the following topics as high priority areas of research:
1. Modeling to accelerate materials and process development
2. Next-generation conductive materials
3. Smart manufacturing/digital thread of materials
4. Joining of dissimilar materials
5. Reinventing Qualification
6. Nondestructive evaluation
7. Smart materials
DISSEMINATION
Content from the workshop is available in the final report which can be freely downloaded from the TMS website. It has also been made available in hardcopy form to all attendees of the workshop, as well as other stakeholders and groups selected by the organizers.
Purpose/Motivation
MForesight’s overarching vision is to accelerate technological innovation and align R&D opportunities with national priorities to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, with a focus on next generation technologies that will strengthen U.S. manufacturing. Professional societies can play an important role to help achieve this vision, particularly by convening key stakeholders through workshops and producing and disseminating reports to guide the community in the development of gamechanging manufacturing technologies of the future. This MForesight workshop, convened in collaboration with TMS, is focused on forecasting and harnessing major materials science and engineering (MS&E) innovations that will unlock new opportunities for the next wave of manufacturing.
