REVIEW PAPER ABSTRACT 102

 The 2009 Roadmap for Additive Manufacturing is a 92-page research agenda looking ahead 10-
15 years. It was the result of a two-day meeting on March 30-31, 2009, in Washington, D.C.,
funded by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. The objective was
to develop and articulate a roadmap for research in the area of additive manufacturing for the
next 10-12 years. The report addressed the needs and opportunities for technological advance
in five areas: design; process modeling and control; materials, processes, and machines;
biomedical applications; and energy and sustainability. There have been over 9,000 downloads
of the roadmap report. The purpose of this article is to list the main findings of the report and to
describe some of the significant impacts the report has had on the advancement of additive
manufacturing technology. © Copyright 2014, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2014.
