Additive Manufacturing of Nanotwinned Titanium Alloys for Critical Use. The project aims to use 3D printing technology to create new titanium alloy components that are substantially lighter and stronger than current versions and therefore highly relevant for high temperature and stress uses in leading-edge industries such as aeroplane manufacture. The project expects to create new means to strengthen and improve the resilience of the commercial alloys’ microstructure with unprecedented in-servic ....Additive Manufacturing of Nanotwinned Titanium Alloys for Critical Use. The project aims to use 3D printing technology to create new titanium alloy components that are substantially lighter and stronger than current versions and therefore highly relevant for high temperature and stress uses in leading-edge industries such as aeroplane manufacture. The project expects to create new means to strengthen and improve the resilience of the commercial alloys’ microstructure with unprecedented in-service performance and thereby substantially broaden the industrial adoptions of 3D-printed products. This should also provide significant cost and environmental benefits and enhance Australia’s international standing in cutting-edge research on advanced manufacturing and materials.Read moreRead less

Summary
A Digital Twin-Driven Model for Mapping Part Quality in Multi-Jet Fusion. This project aims to develop a digital simulation model to address the irregular mechanical properties of Multi-Jet Fusion in 3D printing of automotive components. This model expects to solve a significant challenge when using Multi-Jet Fusion which is the dependence of quality on the build position. The expected outcome of this project is the development of a novel tool for quality assessment in mass customisation and pro ....A Digital Twin-Driven Model for Mapping Part Quality in Multi-Jet Fusion. This project aims to develop a digital simulation model to address the irregular mechanical properties of Multi-Jet Fusion in 3D printing of automotive components. This model expects to solve a significant challenge when using Multi-Jet Fusion which is the dependence of quality on the build position. The expected outcome of this project is the development of a novel tool for quality assessment in mass customisation and production. This project will provide significant benefits by creating an independent digital simulation model for quality mapping in Multi-Jet Fusion that reduces production costs and enhances automotive part quality.Read moreRead less

Summary
Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing. This proposal aims to enhance Australian capability in advanced manufacturing by enabling academia and industry to access a new Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing (AM) to produce and characterise metallic powders for AM. There is presently an urgent need to develop metallic powders specific to AM instead of relying on alloys that were developed for traditional processes and that are not performing optimally in AM due ....Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing. This proposal aims to enhance Australian capability in advanced manufacturing by enabling academia and industry to access a new Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing (AM) to produce and characterise metallic powders for AM. There is presently an urgent need to develop metallic powders specific to AM instead of relying on alloys that were developed for traditional processes and that are not performing optimally in AM due to the fundamental physical differences between modern and traditional manufacturing technologies. Additionally, within this new facility, investigations on recycling metal products into powders to be used in AM will be conducted, providing new opportunities to achieve a circular economy.Read moreRead less
