Developing and modelling an additive process for three-dimensional micro-fabrication

该项目旨在开发新的科学知识，以指导微结构精密制造的三维制造技术的优化设计和使用。它还将对制造过程有一个基本的了解，并开发新的模型来预测和优化工艺性能。预期的成果将提高澳大利亚在精密和纳米/微制造领域的国际研究地位，而开发的新技术将填补制造微结构方面的工艺空白，使行业能够以商业上可行的成本快速响应市场需求，特别是在小批量和定制产品以及牙科、医疗和电子应用方面。

This project aims to develop new scientific knowledge to govern the optimum design and use of a three-dimensional fabrication technology for the precision manufacturing of micro-structures. It will also gain a fundamental understanding of the fabrication process and develop new models for predicting and optimizing the process performance. The intended outcomes will increase Australia's international research standing in precision and nano/micro manufacturing, while the new technology developed will fill a process gap in fabricating micro-structures and enable industry to quickly respond to market demand at commercially viable cost, particularly for small batch and customized products, and in dental, medical and electronics applications.
