摘要/Abstract

摘要： 航班化运输、载人登月等国家重大任务对先进装备的发展提出了新的要求，其关键部组件的性能指标甚至需要有数量级的跃升。然而，传统设计和制造方法存在材料、结构、制造、功能要素分离的局限，难以满足上述需求，亟须发展能够实现超强性能/功能结构的新制造技术。在前期探索实践基础上，提出超结构制造的概念，并尝试从维度、尺度与序度层面对超结构制造的内涵和特征进行探讨，梳理超结构制造的技术体系，介绍超结构制造方面的若干研究案例，最后从物质利用、能量转化、信息调控视角对超结构制造的应用场景进行分析与展望。通过本文，希望能够广泛凝聚行业研究力量，突破传统理念和范式，开辟超结构制造技术全新学科领域。

Abstract: National major missions such as flight-frequency transportation and manned lunar landing have raised new requirements for the development of advanced equipment, demanding even orders-of-magnitude leaps in the performance metrics of key components. However, traditional design and manufacturing methods are limited by the separation of material, structure, manufacturing, and function elements, making it difficult to meet these demands. There is an urgent need to develop new manufacturing technologies capable of achieving ultra-high-performance/function structures. Building on preliminary exploration and practice, the concept of meta-structure manufacturing and attempts to elucidate its essence and characteristics from the perspectives of dimension, scale, and order is proposed. It outlines the technical framework of meta-structure manufacturing, presents several research case studies, and finally analyzes and prospects its application scenarios from the viewpoints of material utilization, energy conversion, and information regulation. Through this paper, we aim to consolidate research efforts across the industry, break through traditional concepts and paradigms, and pioneer a new disciplinary field in meta-structure manufacturing technology.

Key words: meta-structure, artificial design, meta-structure manufacturing, extraordinary property, national major tasks
