America Makes美国添加剂制造和3D打印的加速器已宣布了一个新的项目呼雷电竞充值吁。这些资金可用于满足低成本维持（MAMLS）成熟的第3阶段标准的企业。
The cash is provided by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Manufacturing and Industrial Base Technology Division.
The project call seeks to use $5.7M to make multiple awards with a minimum of $2.8M in matched funded from the project teams. The total project call funding will be approximately $8.5M.
已选择了三个技术主题以进行建议：
使用D主题区域1 -基于功能的资格irected Energy Deposition (DED)
Topic Area 2 – Understanding Manufacturing Realities of AM
Topic Area 3 – Emerging Process Technology for Low Criticality Part Families
From feature based qualification to sustainment of legacy systems
TheDirected Energy Deposition(DED) topic takes a feature-based qualification (FBQ) approach seeking “to identify and create a catalog of all relevant unique combinations of process parameters with simplified specimen geometries.”
然后，该目录将用于辅助零件资格，“通过将零件分解为相关的组成特征，并以符合目录规范的方式生产每个功能。”
Addressing the manufacturing realities of additive manufacturing will tackle possible causes of flaws in AM products. Flaws can occur due to powder contamination, process interruptions, unremoved powder, rough finish on downward facing surfaces, and “unintended volumetric flaws, such as lack of fusion voids or distributed porosity.”
该主题旨在量化缺陷的影响，还将检查包括热等速压力在内的后处理技术。
最终类别认识到，尽管AM在高价值的高价值中有大量应用，但它也可以用于维持旧系统或非关键部位。
这些零件可能包括电连接器，管道，歧管，仪器旋钮，布线线束或小括号。较低的成本技术（例如FFF）不使用粉末床融合3D打印，可能更适合于此类应用。
Projects open to non-members

A Project Call Kick-off Webinar will take place this Friday December 1, 2017. Registration can be accessed on the美国在这里制作项目页面.
The submission deadline for project concepts is January 3, 2018, it is not necessary to be a member of America Makes to submit a project concept form. Those selected to develop a full proposal will have approximately five weeks to do so, as the next deadline is the Friday, February 23, 2018.
America Makes anticipates that a decision on the selection of projects will be reached by the end of March 2018.
