A facility for laser-based automated manufacturing of carbon composites

该项目旨在通过集成基于激光的加工和机器人自动化，为碳复合材料研究创建一个先进的制造设施。它将使高性能热塑性塑料和金属-复合材料混合材料的快速加工的基础研究成为可能，包括通过纳米材料涂层技术对复合材料进行功能化，以及用于结构健康监测的新仪器。该设施将显著提高新成立的先进复合材料自动化制造ARC培训中心的研究能力，该中心将与澳大利亚工业界合作，提高航空航天、汽车、船舶和体育等工业部门的生产率和材料性能。

This project aims to create an advanced manufacturing facility for carbon-composites research by integrating laser-based processing and robotic automation. It will enable fundamental research on rapid processing of high-performance thermoplastics and metal-composite hybrids, including functionalisation of the composite through nano-material coating technology, and new instrumentation for structural health monitoring. The facility will significantly enhance the research capability in the newly established ARC Training Centre for Automated Manufacture of Advanced Composites, which will engage with Australian industry to improve productivity and material performance for industry sectors such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and sport.
