Summary
A Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) for aerospace and biomedical component processing. This facility will provide a hot isostatic press of sufficiently large capacity to maximise production efficiencies in aerospace and biomedical applications through net shape manufacturing. The facility will be able to process small components or prototypes which will behave in a manner similar to larger scale components.

Dual column focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope facility: This facility will precisely cut specimens and surfaces that can be imaged in a variety of ways, including crystallographic and elemental space, of particular use for physical scientists, as well as biological specimens. This instrument will provide information at resolutions between optical and transmission electron microscopy, images that will effectively provide the biologist with the ability to develop the complete correlative picture of organelles and cells. The instrument will also provide a much needed resource for researchers across disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology and engineering.Read moreRead less

Summary
National in-situ transmission electron microscope facilities. This project will establish six complementary transmission electron microscope (TEM) facilities at various locations. The establishment of the facilities will be a key step in developing advanced capacity in Australia and will support ground-breaking research in diverse material systems for various high-performing applications, including electronics, optoelectronics, light metals, biomaterials, energy, and environment.
A novel approach to the design and fabrication of biomimetic and biocompatible Ti-Ta implants by additive manufacturing. A large number of the Australian population suffer various types of bone issues arising from either age-related degenerative bone problems or injuries from accidents, sports and other activities. As the number of joint replacements performed in Australia increases, it is important to reduce the rate of implant failure. This project aims to address this critical issue by combin ....A novel approach to the design and fabrication of biomimetic and biocompatible Ti-Ta implants by additive manufacturing. A large number of the Australian population suffer various types of bone issues arising from either age-related degenerative bone problems or injuries from accidents, sports and other activities. As the number of joint replacements performed in Australia increases, it is important to reduce the rate of implant failure. This project aims to address this critical issue by combining unique multi-scale structural design, alloy development, 3D printing, modelling and tissue engineering to develop bone-like biomimetic titanium implants with superior structural, mechanical and biological compatibility with bone. The outcomes aim to contribute to both healthcare and manufacturing industries, as well as improving the quality of life for Australians.Read moreRead less

Summary
Biodegradable porous shape memory alloys by additive manufacturing. This project aims to create a class of biodegradable Fe-Mn-Si based shape memory alloys and use additive manufacturing to fabricate porous structures with desired properties from these shape memory alloys. Biodegradable shape memory alloys offer great promise for biomedical applications due to their unique biodegradability, shape memory effects and superelasticity. However, a huge knowledge gap exists in developing and fabricati ....Biodegradable porous shape memory alloys by additive manufacturing. This project aims to create a class of biodegradable Fe-Mn-Si based shape memory alloys and use additive manufacturing to fabricate porous structures with desired properties from these shape memory alloys. Biodegradable shape memory alloys offer great promise for biomedical applications due to their unique biodegradability, shape memory effects and superelasticity. However, a huge knowledge gap exists in developing and fabricating biodegradable shape memory alloys with desired properties for biomedical applications. The project expects to fill the critical knowledge gap and open up new opportunities for biomedical applications of biodegradable shape memory alloys. This project will provide significant benefits through the creation of novel materials for application in the healthcare industry such as biomedical devices.Read moreRead less
