A system-level approach is necessary for a company to make the out of additive manufacturing adoption. Sam Bucolo, a design veteran of 35 years, wants to add another layer to the “design for additive manufacturing” discussion. When people talk about “design” and “additive manufacturing”, the conversation tends to settle quickly on material-saving geometry: lattice structures, lightweighting, part consolidation and generative design.    It’s a familiar script and according to

Simon Barlett brings more than 25 years of experience in advanced manufacturing to the Additive Manufacturing CRC (AMCRC) to support the framing of Australia’s current industry capability. Working with AMCRC Program Leaders, he will support five priority projects that collectively underpin the CRC’s long‑term strategic direction, including the development of white papers on the current and future state of the broader Australian AM ecosystem. Simon will draw on his deep indus

An AI-powered robotic system will soon detect and repair cracked roads thanks to a $1.2 million partnership between Charles Darwin University (CDU) , Civiltech Solutions , and the Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC).   The industry-research partnership will combine LiDAR road scanning, artificial intelligence, robotics, and additive manufacturing to solve one of the most common costly challenges faced in road maintenance – all with minimal human interve

Professor Suresh Palanisamy, Chair of AMCRC's Innovation Taskforce As additive manufacturing (AM) moves beyond the hype and into a phase defined by real-world application and impact, one challenge remains: adoption.   To help address this, the Additive Manufacturing CRC (AMCRC) has established an Innovation Taskforce - an advisory committee to its Board - focused on accelerating industry uptake, strengthening collaboration and building a more connected national ecosystem.   C

Panel International Reshoring and Friendshoring at AM Strategies 2026 - Joris Peels ( 3DPrint.com ), Stefanie Brickwede (Deutsche Bahn), Simon Marriott (AMCRC) and Daniel Landgraf (3D Spark GmbH) At this year’s Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) conference in New York, one message came through clearly: additive manufacturing is entering a new phase—defined less by hype and more by hard decisions, real applications and strategic capability. Now in its ninth year, AMS co
