Free Float or support free: a new generation metal 3D printing facility

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to establish a new generation metal 3D printing research facility that allows faster, more cost-effective, and greener 3D printing of complex metal parts, while offering greater design freedom than current metal 3D printing processes. This is important for cutting-edge research into this emerging technology and accelerating its adoption by Australian manufacturing. Expected outcomes include a state-of-the-art laser metal 3D printer, highly innovative metal 3D printing research and development capabilities, closer integration with industrial needs, and training of future metal 3D printing researchers. This should benefit the defence, space, aerospace, biomedical, clean energy, chemical processing and other industries.
