This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, a consistent theme in enhancing U.S. global competitiveness has been the need for U.S. leadership in critical advanced manufacturing technologies. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing, has been among those critical technologies. Recently, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing (SAM) and Subcommittee on the Materials Genome Initiative (SMGI) jointly formed an interagency team to analyze the slow adoption of AM for high-consequence applications. The interagency team developed this report to define the problems limiting implementation of AM, with a focus on identifying the specific issues limiting wider adoption of AM for high-consequence parts, and the R&D gaps that need to be addressed to reduce the risk and cost of adoption of AM by increasing confidence in AM processes and parts used in high-consequence applications. The sections that follow define the specific issues holding back AM technology and provide the context of the problem. This leads to recommendations to guide future efforts in technology development to ensure increased adoption of high-consequence AM and U.S. leadership in the field.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has long thrived as a result of its ability to manufacture goods and sell them to global markets. Manufacturing activity has supported its economic growth, leading the Nation's exports and employing millions of Americans. The manufacturing sector has also driven knowledge production and innovation in the United States, by supporting two-thirds of private sector research and development and by employing scientists, engineers, and technicians to invent new products and introduce innovations in existing industries. The Nation's historic leadership in manufacturing, however, is at risk. Manufacturing as a share of national income has declined, as has manufacturing employment, and its leadership in producing and exporting manufactured goods is in question. The loss of U.S. leadership in manufacturing, moreover, is not limited to low-wage jobs in low-tech industries, nor is it limited to its status relative to low-wage nations. The United States is lagging behind in innovation in its manufacturing sector relative to high-wage nations such as Germany and Japan, and has relinquished leadership in high-tech industries that employ highly-skilled workers. This report provides a strategy and specific recommendations for revitalizing the Nation's leadership in advanced manufacturing. The key recommendation in this report is that the Federal Government launch an Advanced Manufacturing Initiative (AMI). This report recommends that AMI be a concerted, whole-of-government effort, spearheaded by the Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, and Department of Energy and coordinated by the Executive Office of the President (EOP), either through the Office of Science and Technology Policy, National Economic Council, or the office of the Assistant to the President for Manufacturing Policy. The Secretaries of Commerce, Defense, and Energy should assign lead responsibility to an appropriate agency or agencies within the Department--such as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at Commerce, DARPA at Defense, and ARPA-E or EERE at Energy. It is crucial that this whole-of-government effort be complemented by parallel initiatives in the industry and academia. AMI should develop mechanisms to involve these sectors and to draw on their expertise in identifying technological opportunities. An external advisory board that has access to advanced manufacturing expertise should help guide this work. Appended are: (1) Advanced Manufacturing Provisions in America Competes Act; and (2) President Obama's Strategy for American Innovation and the FY 2012 Budget Request: Implications for Advanced Manufacturing. (Contains 2 boxes and 69 footnotes.).

Book excerpt: This 2018 strategic plan for advanced manufacturing, following extensive public outreach, is based on a vision for American leadership in advanced manufacturing across industrial sectors. This vision will be achieved by developing and transitioning new manufacturing technologies to market; educating, training, and connecting the manufacturing workforce; and expanding the capabilities of the domestic manufacturing supply chain. Strategic objectives are identified for each goal, along with technical and program priorities with specific actions and outcomes to be accomplished over the next four years.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.American Manufacturing and Competitiveness * Factors That Impact Innovation and Competitiveness for Advanced Manufacturing * Vision and Goals for Advanced Manufacturing * Goal 1: Develop and Transition New Manufacturing Technologies * Capture the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems * Develop World-Leading Materials and Processing Technologies * Assure Access to Medical Products through Domestic Manufacturing * Maintain Leadership in Electronics Design and Fabrication * Strengthen Opportunities for Food and Agricultural Manufacturing * Goal 2: Educate, Train, and Connect the Manufacturing Workforce * Attract and Grow Tomorrow's Manufacturing Workforce * Update and Expand Career and Technical Education Pathways * Promote Apprenticeship and Access to Industry-Recognized Credentials * Match Skilled Workers with the Industries that Need Them * Goal 3: Expand the Capabilities of the Domestic Manufacturing Supply Chain * Increase the Role of Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers in Advanced Manufacturing * Encourage Ecosystems of Manufacturing Innovation * Strengthen the Defense Manufacturing Base * Strengthen Advanced Manufacturing for Rural Communities * Progress Made in Achieving the Objectives from the 2012 Strategic PlanAlthough the United States is still the largest producer of products in some sectors, a worrisome development is the sharp decline in production and employment in some strategically important sectors, notably the communications and computer industries. America's manufacturing and defense industrial base and supply chain, composed of these and other key sectors, is essential to economic prosperity and must maintain the capacity to rapidly innovate and arm our warfighters to prevail in any conflict. Underlying all of the challenges for innovation and competitiveness in U.S. advanced manufacturing is a shortage of Americans with the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics knowledge and technical skills needed for advanced manufacturing jobs. Appropriate education and training is required from elementary through high school, and through technical training programs, re-training, apprenticeships, postsecondary education, and access to valid, industry-recognized, competency-based credentials-one of the highest priorities of the Trump Administration.Emerging markets, exports, and trade are all affected by advanced manufacturing. Manufacturing leadership not only requires advanced technologies, but the ability to effectively leverage new technologies and platforms across industrial sectors. Emerging markets will be driven by advances in smart and digital manufacturing systems, industrial robotics, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, high-performance materials, semiconductor and hybrid electronics, photonics, advanced textiles, biomanufacturing, food and agriculture manufacturing, and more. Many of these technologies represent dual opportunities-not only can they make other subsectors more competitive by increasing productivity, but the market for these emerging technologies themselves will be billions of dollars annually.

S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, policymakers have had difficulty addressing issues raised by emerging technologies. Whether it is inadequate legislation due to a general lack of awareness, or overregulation from a perceived threat, emerging technologies seem to repeatedly confuse those responsible for ensuring their safe incorporation into society. Despite decades of experience with similar issues, this trend continues to this day. What lessons can be drawn from different approaches to policy development for other emerging technologies to help policymakers avoid these failures for additive manufacturing technologies?A structured focus comparison of three emerging technologies, unmanned aerial systems, autonomous vehicles, and additive manufacturing, revealed characteristics of emerging technologies--such as a low price point for market entry and rapid evolution-- that tend to surprise policymakers.This study recommends organizations make a concerted effort to engage early and often in the policy development process, and that they carefully consider each stakeholder's level of involvement. It is also recommended that the Department of Homeland Security leverage existing mechanisms, such as the Centers of Excellence partnerships and the Strategic Foresight Initiative, to engage nontraditional partners in addressing issues raised by additive manufacturing technologies.To appropriately address the question, this research used a structured, focused comparison to examine select elements of unmanned aerial systems (UASs), autonomous vehicles, and additive manufacturing systems. These technologies were selected based on availability of academic research as well as pertinence in the field of homeland security. To strengthen the approach to this qualitative study, the methodology focused on reducing the number of variables considered in each selected technology, and choosing emerging technologies that possessed similar conditions.This research revealed that the unique, individual characteristics of each emerging technology are the most significant factors that can lead to uninformed or reactionary public policy approaches. The most significant characteristics revealed by this study were:timeframe for evolution of technology; price point for entry into the market; range of impacted stakeholders.This research showed that quickly evolving technologies with low price points for entry into the market and wide ranges of interested or impacted stakeholders are the most likely to surprise legislators. UASs and additive manufacturing technologies fit this description and, to date, have not been adequately addressed by policymakers.From these findings, the researcher developed recommendations at two levels: strategic and tactical. The strategic-level recommendations focus on general lessons learned from historical policy development examples focused on emerging technologies. These are high level, generalizable, and suitable for any organization interested in working with emerging technologies. The tactical-level recommendations are focused on existing mechanisms within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can be leveraged to specifically address potential policy questions raised by the recent advancements in additive manufacturing processes. These recommendations aim to be realistic and executable, with consideration given to the continued strain on resources available for new initiatives.
