Additive manufacturing (AM) is a transformative technology that is integral to Industry 4.0, an industrial evolution concept leveraging advanced/smart/digital manufacturing, and a high-priority growth area. Extrusion-based methods such as ink jet, fused filament fabrication, and direct ink write (DIW) have achieved vast proliferation, market penetration, and scientific advancement in the last decade. The extension of these technologies to high solids concentration direct write inks ("dense pastes") has created unique application opportunities in diverse industry sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, synthetic biomaterials, construction, energy, and defense. With opportunity comes fundamental challenges at the leading edge of manufacturing science. This workshop seeks to cross-pollinate interdisciplinary research solutions in order to advance the state of the art and further integrate extruded dense paste additive manufacturing into industrial operations.

Learn from academia, industry, and government personnel about advancement in dense paste Direct Ink Write process engineering and manufacturing science.

Hear about DoD and DOE Additive Manufacturing strategy first hand from our distinguished plenary speakers Mr. Rob Gold *, SES, Director for Technology and Manufacturing Industrial Base at OSD/R&E, and Dr. Justine Johannes, Deputy Associate Lab Director and Director of the Material Science Division at Sandia National Laboratories.

*Mr. Gold's office was responsible for the (recent) January 2021 release of the Department of Defense Additive Manufacturing Strategy.
