AMCM, a provider of customised metal 3D printing machines, has embarked on a journey to advance additive manufacturing by enhancing the thermal management and performance of its flagship M 4K printer, according to a case study published on Conflux Technology's website.

For decades, industry players and government institutions in Australia and around the world have drawn up various plans to tackle gender inequity within the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics industry. 

Over the last five or six years, customers have moved on from simply thinking about how emerging tech can help them, to actively looking at implementing digital transformation ...

To become future-ready, manufacturers need to focus on data strategies, rich customer experiences, workforce upskilling and action-backed sustainability goals.

At an unprecedented scale, consumers are heading to the digital sphere to complete sales. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly upended the customer-manufacturer dynamic in ways we’ve never witnessed before.

Additive manufacturing continues to revolutionise how components and tools are manufactured on a large scale. However, due to a lack of materials, lengthy print times, high cost, and strict quality criteria, 3D printing was not initially a feasible alternative for large-scale industrial manufacturing.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Milton Dick MP, along with Queensland Labor’s Jess Pugh MP attended a site tour of Volvo Group Australia’s Wacol operations, located close to their communities of Oxley and Mount Ommaney.

A new wave of innovation is transforming the Australian manufacturing sector, with sustainability at its core. ROBOVOID, in collaboration with Swinburne University, GT Recycling, and Sustainability Victoria, has developed a groundbreaking bed base made entirely from recycled plastic. 

One of the "hottest" metals currently garnering interest in additive manufacturing is copper - largely because of its greater thermal conductivity, which is desired in industries like electronics and rocketry where heat exchange is essential.

Many manufacturing leaders are increasingly realizing the role of streamlined order management in coping with today’s increasing orders, supply chain disruptions, and catering to customer demands tied to tighter deadlines.
