Across the continually evolving manufacturing landscape, the integration of automation solutions continues to move quickly. For metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes the same is true. However, the post processing of metal parts, which is critical for successful outcomes, has been largely overlooked causing serious bottlenecks in the process chain — until now.

The University of Sydney is investing $7.4 million to establish the Future Qubit Foundry at the Sydney Nanoscience Hub, cementing Sydney’s position at the forefront of quantum collaborations with industry and government. 

UNSW Sydney research has found leaders in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry looking to accelerate digital transformation need to adopt four different approaches to thinking.

Stratasys is ushering in a new era of precision and detail in additive manufacturing with the introduction of its cutting-edge HighDef Printing capabilities and the debut of the H350 Version 1.5 (V.1.5) printer.

Siemens and Desktop Metal, Inc., global leaders in digitalization and additive manufacturing technologies, announced today a multi-faceted partnership aimed at accelerating the adoption of additive manufacturing for production applications with a focus on the world’s largest manufacturers.

The Additive Manufacturing CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) is set to host a partner workshop on 26 June at the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub in Northgate, Queensland.

Brain imaging company EMVision Medical Devices Limited has received a cash progress payment of $1,750,000 under its Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) grant award.

Advanced Navigation has signed a multi-million dollar contract with Rheinmetall Defence Australia to supply fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) inertial navigation systems (INS) for integration into Rheinmetall's Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles (CRV), which are currently in service with the Australian army.

As additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing continues to evolve, many of the pre-conceptions concerning its usefulness as a production technology for plastic parts and components need to be revisited. Now an established technology set, with a 30-year plus pedigree in industry, 3D printing is no longer just a solution for rapid prototyping applications.

In a bid to achieve better part repeatability with advanced metal additive manufacturing (AM) across the globe, a network of contract manufacturers has collaborated and obtained significant results in printing the same print file of an industrial part using Velo3D Sapphire systems in six locations.
