Swinburne University’s AIR Hub has launched the META2.0 project, revolutionising UAV manufacturing by integrating automation, digital engineering, and advanced composite materials for high-rate aerospace production.

Making automobiles lighter is one of several techniques to reduce the energy necessary for transportation. In particular, high-strength (HS) steels are ideal candidates for this application because their higher weight-to-strength ratio allows for the use of less metal to achieve comparable structural integrity. 

A Tasmanian dental practice is bringing the manufacturing of some implants and prosthetic restorations in-house using 3D printing technology, aiming to reduce turnaround times and reliance on mainland dental laboratories.

Australian manufacturing is thriving despite cost pressures, supply chain issues and labour shortages. A new CommBank report shows how digitisation and sustainable practices are reshaping the sector.

Australia’s property sector is expected to take on a bigger role in the country’s transition to net zero emissions with the rise of alternative building materials that offer immediate and long-term environmental benefits. 

In recent years, the cycling industry has undergone an immense transformation, owing mostly to the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. One of these technologies, 3D printing, has played a significant role in allowing companies like MagCAD to revolutionise the sector through customised solutions and products.

Precision Plastics Australia has unveiled DesignLab.au, a new platform designed to link global product designers with Australian additive manufacturing capability, in a move that reflects the growing shift toward locally produced, design-led consumer goods. 

As we enter 2025, warehouse automation and intralogistics continue to be shaped by technological innovation, evolving consumer demands, labour challenges and space scarcity, and a continued drive to optimise performance and efficiency.

Manufacturing in Australia has seen a rise in the use of safety management systems in the last several years. These solutions have the potential...

As industries adopt cleaner, more intelligent energy solutions, the ability to manage, store, and trade energy efficiently is increasingly vital to sustaining a competitive edge.
