Artificial intelligence is reshaping every sector it touches, and additive manufacturing (AM) is no exception. A recent expert panel explored how AI is accelerating innovation across the AM value chain, from design and optimisation to production and workforce readiness. As with many industries, the AM community is attempting to make sense of a future where artificial intelligence-driven change seems a given.   The impact of the current set of generative AI tools is still bein

In early September, the Additive Manufacturing CRC (AMCRC) completed its Board with the appointment of three new directors – Dr Jason Coonan , Graham McLean and Professor Jennifer Loy . Their appointments further strengthen AMCRC’s ability to deliver industry-led research and innovation that advances Australia’s additive manufacturing capability .   With extensive experience across industry, research, commercialisation and strategic leadership, the expanded Board is well pos

Demand for drones is soaring worldwide, and additive manufacturing is rising to meet the demands of manufacturers wanting to create better flying machines. A recent discussion focussed on the intersection of the two. Additive manufacturing (AM) is proving a sweet spot for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) due to its potential to reshape and speed up design, development and production. Drones and AM intersect across countless industries, from infrastructure inspection
