ISCA Founding Partner of Australian Research Hub.

Through this hub, researchers will work to resolve issues surrounding process optimisation to achieve all required mechanical properties in 3D printed metallic products that can be used commercially for flying or in the body. The aim is to help boost Australia's manufacturing industry by securing markets in high value sectors, such as aerospace and biomedical.

ISCA attended the opening of the new research and development hub in Melbourne on Wednesday that has a focus on 3D printing and its growing place in a broad spectrum of industries. The $9 million (AUD) ARC Research Hub for Transforming Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing is a huge collaboration between experts from a variety of fields both academic and industrial - one of which being ISCA. The hub is jointly funded by the ARC and industrial partners and is based at Monash University.

The research hub will focus on additive manufacturing that uses selective laser sintering (SLS) technology to build components from metal alloy powders. This dovetails neatly with Australia's need to use its titanium ore and to enter the aerospace industry. Additive manufacturing has already shown strong promise for use in aerospace manufacturing and we hope to extend this to other industries.
