Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Additive Manufacturing

The Industrial Transformation Research Hub (ITRH) for Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a globally linked and industry-focused research hub established with the mission to underpin the uptake of metal alloy based additive manufacturing (including 3D printing) in Australia.

The Hub’s research addresses the existing issues and challenges facing the industry. These include the effects of non-equilibrium solidification during the build process, process optimisation to establish an accepted quality standard, build consistency and repeatability, and new user-friendly design tools to realise the benefit of free-form manufacturing.
