This workshop will address issues associated with research and development (R&D) leading to convergent manufacturing. Convergent manufacturing includes the capability for mixed materials, processes, and systems all in one platform. The workshop will focus on three topical areas. 1) Key areas for R&D investments that will enable the readiness and commercial development of convergent manufacturing. 2) Application areas for convergent manufacturing, with an emphasis on future Army, and related civilian, applications. 3) Approaches for designing a convergent manufacturing platform.

A convergent manufacturing platform is defined as a system that synergistically combines heterogeneous materials and processes (e.g., additive, subtractive, and transformative) in one platform. The platform is equipped with unprecedented modularity, flexibility, connectivity, reconfigurability, port...
