One such workshop was held on May 2 at GTMI and was an opportunity for indepth discussion about the next generation of additive manufacturing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe purpose of workshop was to bring together selected experts in manufacturing, materials, energy, design and data sciences. The workshop included brainstorming and charting strategies for formulating and pursuing new research initiatives in next-generation additive manufacturing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThrough presentations and discussion, the group was able to identify key disciplines that will be integrated into next-generation additive manufacturing initiatives. They also prioritized key industry sectors from which to seek partnerships. All agreed that Georgia Tech\u0027s multidisciplinary strengths sets it apart from other universities.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHosting the workshop was Suman Das, director of the Direct Digital Manufacturing Laboratory, and the Morris M.
