ARC Research Hub for Advanced Manufacturing of Personalised Medical Devices. The project aims to transform Australia’s $10.8 billion medical technology sector by developing cost competitive technologies for the rapid production of personalised devices for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). To ensure the Australian industry remains globally competitive, this hub seeks to concurrently develop materials, technologies and flexible manufacturing processes. The intended research outcomes include more efficient design and manufacturing processes and a new range of EVAR products generating increased market share and higher workforce capability. The resulting impacts should be better health outcomes, job creation and providing SMEs with new technologies and skills that can be transferred to the manufacture of products for other sectors.Read moreRead less

ARC Research Hub for Transforming Australia’s Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing. A world class, globally-linked and industry-focussed Research Hub will be established to underpin the uptake of metal alloy based additive manufacturing (including three-dimensional printing) in Australia. Research will cover the issues that need to be resolved for success, including the effects of non-equilibrium solidification, process optimisation to achieve quality, consistency and repeatability, and new user-friendly design tools to realise the benefit of free-form manufacturing. Real components will be studied to give immediate impact. The Research Hub will also train highly skilled people needed for this growing industry.Read moreRead less
