Aerospace company Sidus Space has recognised additive manufacturing’s capability as a highly effective tool to optimise weight in systems designed to reach space, with the development of a 3D-printed satellite set to launch in 2023.

With Industry 5.0 kicking off, manufacturing companies are at the forefront of a technological revolution, seeking innovative solutions for their factories to drive operational efficiency and maintain a competitive edge.

It is becoming more apparent that researchers are pushing the boundaries of medical science as additional knowledge about the nation's efforts in bioprinting continues to surface. Australia's biotechnology sector has prospered for years as trailblazing researchers advance their discoveries.

As the impacts of climate change intensify globally and emission reduction deadlines loom, Australia must prioritise its power supply.

An aspect limiting the production of today's power hubs is the metals used in the blades, bearings and seals of their steam turbines, which tend to soften and elongate far before their melting point.

Australia’s manufacturing sector spent 2025 navigating a complex mix of economic headwinds, technological acceleration and policy-driven transformation, as reflected in year-long coverage by Australian Manufacturing.

At the core of every bustling industrial operation lies a crucial need: seamless control and visualisation. Addressing this demand, APS Industrial (APS) has introduced the Siemens SIMATIC HMI Unified Basic Panels, a solution crafted for this purpose. 

As part of its mission to showcase Australia’s leading-edge products, technologies and software, the Modern Manufacturing Expo is finally coming back to highlight the outstanding new technological trends and innovations in the Australian manufacturing industry, this time with artificial intelligence in full focus. 

Australian manufacturing is thriving despite cost pressures, supply chain issues and labour shortages. A new CommBank report shows how digitisation and sustainable practices are reshaping the sector.

Australians are familiar with natural disasters like heatwaves, bushfires, droughts, floods, severe storms, and tropical cyclones. According to the Climate Council, 84 per cent of Australians have been directly affected by at least one climate-fuelled disaster since 2019(1).
