Summary
Selective laser melting - an advanced manufacturing and physical modelling technology for the digital age. Selective laser melting is a new manufacturing technology that creates parts layer by layer directly from a computer model, eliminating the need for tooling or machining. This technology will be applied to a diverse range of research areas from producing the next generation of medical implants and devices to improving our understanding of geo-materials.

Finite element and optimization methods for creating complex structure in additive manufacturing. Additive manufacture based on five-axis focused ion beam is a novel manufacturing technology, which has some outstanding properties such as low pollution, no machining, net shape, high efficiency, and high precision characteristics. It produces much less waste as it adds materials, rather than subtracting. This project focuses on developing powerful finite element and topology optimisation method fo ....Finite element and optimization methods for creating complex structure in additive manufacturing. Additive manufacture based on five-axis focused ion beam is a novel manufacturing technology, which has some outstanding properties such as low pollution, no machining, net shape, high efficiency, and high precision characteristics. It produces much less waste as it adds materials, rather than subtracting. This project focuses on developing powerful finite element and topology optimisation method for analysis and design of complex structures in five-axis focused ion beam (or direct laser rapid sintering) based additive manufacturing. The success of this project may benefit Australian manufacturing industry for promoting and developing this emerging and disruptive technology.Read moreRead less

Grain size refinement of near beta titanium alloys - a route to developing new advanced medical implants and devices. This project seeks to develop targeted material solutions for application in the manufacture of new and improved medical components, such as stents. This will be achieved by developing new biocompatible beta titanium alloys with mechanical properties and forming behaviour that are optimised for implant applications associated with endovascular procedures.
