Abstract

This document is the report of a workshop held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, CO October 2019 seeking input from research, industry, and regulatroy communities on the photopolymer additive manufacturing (PAM) research and development agenda. The report provides a synopsis of the current state of the science and highlights challenges, needs, and future opportunities for accelerated innovation in PAM. It is intended to be used for strategic planning and decision-making purposes by PAM stakeholders and to fuel collaborations among the PAM community to accelerate innovation. The meeting was jointly hosted by NIST and RadTech, the ultraviolet and electron beam photopolymer chemistry international nonprofit organization.
