This workshop will examine manufacturing and characterization capacity in the US for mid-scale production of sufficient quantities of emerging materials to assess the engineering utility of those materials. Participants will discuss availability, access, and economic sustainability of both mid-scale manufacturing facilities and experimental facilities that provide extreme environment characterization, focusing on defense-specific considerations. The workshop will also examine state of the art approaches that are used to evaluate data, models, and simulations for scale-up.
