AMCRC adds Edith Cowan University as research partner
The Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC) has added Edith Cowan University (ECU), Joondalup, Australia, as a research partner.
ECU joins AMCRC’s research network of twelve universities and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). AMCRC stated that the partnership will add ECU’s research expertise and industry links to its work supporting the adoption of Additive Manufacturing across Australian industry.
The partnership also supports AMCRC’s Australia Makes vision, focused on industry-led research, workforce development, and technology adoption.
“ECU’s strong research capability and industry links make it a valuable addition to our partnership, particularly as Western Australia continues to develop significant opportunities across defence, mining and resources,” stated Susan Jeanes, AMCRC Chair.
“Additive Manufacturing has the potential to transform how these sectors design, produce and maintain critical components. Building the workforce, knowledge and industry capability required to realise that opportunity will be essential, and ECU will play an important role in that effort.”
Professor Wei Ni, Associate Dean (Research) at ECU’s School of Engineering, added, “The partnership creates opportunities to translate research into industry outcomes and support technology adoption across start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, government, community organisations and major companies, including those operating in Western Australia’s resources sector.”
