The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a digital manufacturing analysis, correlation and estimation (DMACE) challenge.

DARPA will digitally manufacture several complex structures and conduct a series of tests upon them. Data from the manufacture and load tests will then be posted on the website. The challenge is to develop correlation models that accurately correlates DM machine inputs to output structural test data. Participant models will be evaluated by their ability to predict the test results of the final DM structures. The model that most accurately predicts the final test results wins the Challenge.
