点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to enhance the future of advanced manufacturing in Australia by mapping intersectional craft work within the Australian economy. Craft skills embedded and working in collaboration with industry are essential to innovation as Australia looks to develop high-end advanced manufacturing. This project will identify ways in which the skills of ‘making’ required to sustain and grow future manufacturing can be maintained and extended, supporting the survival and updating of current production; such skills will enable the kind of fertile ground out of which the innovation necessary for developing advanced manufacturing can grow.
