内容提要：
3D printing (additive manufacturing) has drastically changed the design and manufacturing landscape by enabling companies to prototype and produce products faster and cheaper. However, significant challenges remain to be addressed in order to fully realize the use of 3D printing as a direct digital manufacturing approach. This talk will discuss some unique properties of 3D printing technology and related opportunities for geometric and physical modeling. Some of our recent work on new process development and design for additive manufacturing will be presented. The talk will conclude with remarks and thoughts on future 3D printing developments and new design and manufacturing paradigms.
报告人简介：
Dr. Yong Chen is an associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (courtesy) at University of Southern California (USC). He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001. Prior to joining USC in 2006, he was a senior Research and Development (R&D) engineer in 3D Systems Inc. Dr. Chen’s research focuses on additive manufacturing (3D printing) especially modeling, analyzing, synthesizing, and optimizing digital design and manufacturing. Dr. Chen has published more than 80 publications in refereed journals and conferences. Among them, he received a number of Best/Outstanding Paper Awards in major design and manufacturing journals and conferences. Other major awards he received include the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, and the Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). Currently he serves in the editorial boards of Computer-aided Design, ASME Journal of Computers and Information in Engineering, and International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing. He has served as a conference program chair as well as a keynote speaker in several international conferences. Here is his website: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~yongchen
