Funded Activity Summary

Rapid Manufacturing of Aluminium. The project has both national and international significance and addresses the National Research Priority: Frontier Technologies - Advanced Materials (light alloys). Rapid manufacturing produces functional parts directly from a computer solid model using a layer wise rapid prototyping device. Rapid manufacturing is particularly important in the Australian context where small production runs means that tooling and inventory costs are a much larger proportion of the total cost than in North American, European or Asian countries. With a large installed machine base, a substantial automotive and automotive component industry and a major aluminium industry, this project can assist in the further development of these industries.
