Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing

该提案旨在通过使学术界和工业界能够获得一个新的增材制造（AM）粉末制造设施，以生产和制造AM金属粉末，从而提高澳大利亚在先进制造方面的能力。目前迫切需要开发特定于AM的金属粉末，而不是依赖于为传统工艺开发的合金，并且由于现代和传统制造技术之间的基本物理差异，这些合金在AM中表现不佳。此外，在这个新设施内，将进行将金属产品回收为AM中使用的粉末的研究，为实现循环经济提供新的机会。

This proposal aims to enhance Australian capability in advanced manufacturing by enabling academia and industry to access a new Powder Manufacturing Facility for Additive Manufacturing (AM) to produce and characterise metallic powders for AM. There is presently an urgent need to develop metallic powders specific to AM instead of relying on alloys that were developed for traditional processes and that are not performing optimally in AM due to the fundamental physical differences between modern and traditional manufacturing technologies. Additionally, within this new facility, investigations on recycling metal products into powders to be used in AM will be conducted, providing new opportunities to achieve a circular economy.
