agency of the United States Department
of Commerce, is establishing the
Metrology of Additive Construction by
Extrusion (MACE) Consortium and
invites organizations to participate in
this Consortium. The Consortium will
study the measurement science needs
for the successful adoption of additive
manufacturing by the construction
industry. Participation in this
Consortium is open to all eligible
organizations, as described below.
Participants will be required to sign a
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA).
DATES: NIST will accept responses for
participation in this Consortium until
May 15th, 2018. The Consortium’s
activities will commence on June 1,
2018 (‘‘Commencement Date’’).
Acceptance of participants into the
Consortium after the Commencement
Date will depend on eligibility, as
determined by NIST based on
information provided, and the
availability of NIST resources.
ADDRESSES: Information submitted in
response to this notice and request for
additional information about the
Consortium can be directed via mail to
the NIST Consortium Manager, Dr. Scott
Jones, Materials and Structural Systems
Division of NIST’s Engineering
Laboratory, 100 Bureau Drive,
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899–8312, or
via electronic mail to scott.jones@
nist.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information about opportunities
to join the MACE Consortium, or about
the terms and conditions of NIST’s
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA), please contact
Jeffrey DiVietro, CRADA Officer,
National Institute of Standards and
Technology’s Technology Partnerships
Office, by mail to 100 Bureau Drive,

telephone at (301) 975–8779.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additive
construction by extrusion (ACE) has the
potential to revolutionize construction
by eliminating the need for formwork
and enabling architectural or structural
designs that cannot be achieved by
standard practices. As ACE is in its
early stages of development, this
Consortium will study the measurement
science needs for the successful
adoption of ACE by the construction
industry. The objective of this
consortium will be to identify and then
translate cementitious material
measurements to in-line or in-process
measurements for quality control and
quality assurance of the ACE process.

The MACE consortium will undertake
the following tasks over a three-year
renewable period:
Task 1 will focus on correlating offline measurements of fresh and
hardening cement paste with measures
of print quality. The objectives will be
to determine material performance
characteristics that are critical to the
success of ACE.
Task 2 will focus on developing insitu and in-process measurements that
can be used to provide feedback into the
control of the ACE process. The
objective will be to implement material
property measurements in line to the
ACE process.
Task 3 will focus on scaling paste and
mortar measurements to the concrete
scale, including a proper consideration
of field issues. This includes, but is not
limited to, hardened property
measurements; studies on curing
practices and finishing procedures; and
development of numerical simulations
of material deposition. The objectives
will be to measure hardened properties
of 3–D printed structures and
investigate how paste and mortar
measurements can inform concretebased ACE through the use of numerical
simulations.
No proprietary information will be
shared as part of the Consortium.
Process
Interested parties with relevant ACE
capabilities (see below), products, and/
or technical expertise to support this
Consortium should contact NIST using
the information provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
Eligibility will be determined by NIST
using the information provided by an
organization in response to this notice
based on the information requested
below, and upon the availability of
necessary resources to NIST. An eligible
member must be involved in current or
future efforts to advance ACE, either
through commercial technology
development or academic research.
An organization responding to this
notice should provide the following
information to NIST’s Consortium
Manager by email.
1. Description of organization’s
interest in ACE and current activities
prompting the development of ACE.
2. Topics of interest from the
statement of work. There is no limit on
the number of areas of participation.
3. List of interested party’s anticipated
participants.
4. For non-profit institutions,
anticipated in-kind donations and cost
equivalency.
A responding organization should not
include any business proprietary

information in its response to this
request for information. NIST will not
treat any information provided in
response to this request as proprietary
information.
NIST will notify each organization of
its eligibility. In order to participate in
this Consortium, each eligible
organization must sign a CRADA for this
Consortium. All participants to this
Consortium will be bound by the same
terms and conditions. Participation fees
will be at least $20,000 annually. For
non-profit institutions, in-kind
donations equivalent to the membership
fee may be accepted, subject to the
discretion of NIST and justification of
cost equivalency. NIST does not
guarantee participation in the
Consortium to any organization.
