Manufacturing is becoming more innovative in the automotive sector, with advancements such as driverless technology and sustainability, particularly with the growing popularity of electric vehicles. 

Autodesk and Formlabs are teaming up! You may not have noticed just yet, but Autodesk Fusion 360 has an expansive additive manufacturing workspace designed to help prototyping, researchers, additive engineers, designers and everyone else get the most control over their 3D printers.

Now more than ever, manufacturers all around the world are being pushed to test the limits of their current capabilities as they weather multiple disruptive global events, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

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.

The industrial machinery and heavy equipment manufacturing sector is critical not only for its direct outputs, machines, and equipment that pave the way for construction, agriculture and manufacturing but also for its crucial role in economic development and innovation. 

As industries adopt cleaner, more intelligent energy solutions, the ability to manage, store, and trade energy efficiently is increasingly vital to sustaining a competitive edge.
