Daronmont Technologies has achieved a major milestone in the $1.2 billion upgrade of Australia’s JORN over the horizon defence radar, with the completion of advanced design work for the hundreds of sounders and transponders that enable the strategically important surveillance of the oceans across Australia’s north. Each sounder provides a primary source of return data…
Last week in our series Frontiers in additive manufacturing, Peter Roberts discussed the similarities between the impact of then-new CNC technologies in the 1980s to today’s growth in additive manufacturing. Today he talks with Bruce Rowley, whose company CNC Design was a pioneer in Australia’s adoption of both technologies. As Australian manufacturers first moved to…
In the final day of our Frontiers in additive manufacturing series, Glenn Rees, Head of Engineering at Conflux, discusses the many challenges that come with design freedom, the commercial sweet spots for metal AM, and more. You’ve come from a Motorsport background – can you tell me a bit about the differences and similarities in…
@AuManufacturing’s editorial series, Frontiers in additive manufacturing, looks at an Australian innovation for printing surfaces that borrow from nature. Brent Balinski speaks to Henry Bilinsky of MicroTau. (A podcast of the interview is available at this link, and through Spotify and other platforms.) As in the examples of Carbon Revolution and Tritium –…
Australian-based Additive Manufacturing or 3D printing technologies can solve some of these significant challenges, especially for industrial and large-scale parts supply, AML3D explains in this edition of our Frontiers in additive manufacturing series.
Today our Frontiers in additive manufacturing editorial series looks at the emerging field of 4D printing. Dr Ali Zolfagharian explains. Additive manufacturing (AM) technology – involving materials built up layer-by-layer, and also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing – was first developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by different scientists and engineers around the…
Our Frontiers in additive manufacturing series today provides an update on a locally-developed hybrid additive/subtractive machine for producing cutting tools.
@AuManufacturing’s latest editorial series, Frontiers in Additive Manufacturing reveals a new capability developed at the Lucas Heights nuclear facility which will offer real-time information about the powder deposition process in metal additive manufacturing systems. The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation has boosted its additive manufacturing capabilities with the installation of a custom built Laser…
@AuManufacturing’s latest editorial series, Frontiers in Additive Manufacturing, begins today. Brent Balinski introduces the one-week series.
While manufacturers have successfully increased the water-repelling nature of smartphones, they are still far from “waterproof”. A water-resistant product can usually resist water penetration to some extent, but a waterproof product is (meant to be) totally impervious to water.
