DMTC is presenting a four-part briefing series to increase the awareness within the Defence community on the objectives and outcomes of the DMTC program, including technical achievements and enhancements to Australian industry capability.
The briefings are open to all, however they are targeted towards CDG and DMO representatives. Discussion and questions after each briefing are encouraged.
For further information, please contact information@dmtc.com.au.
Briefing 3
Date: 22 August, 2012
Location: Canberra
Presenter(s): Dr Stephen van Duin – Maritime Platforms Program Leader.
RSVP: information@dmtc.com.au
Briefing Details:
This next presentation titled ‘Achievements and Opportunities in the Maritime Sector’ will discuss a number of technical outcomes of the DMTC Maritime Program to date and provide insight into where DMTC can provide support to future sustainment and acquisition programs. The technical discussion will also present examples of cross-disciplinary utilisation of technology, and discuss opportunities to leverage successes in the Land and Air sectors into the Maritime domain.
DMTC congratulates Tom Radtke, Head, Physical Protection, Human Protection and Performance Division, Defence Science and Technology Organisation on receiving a DSTO Bronze Level Commendation. The commendation recognises Tom’s ongoing leadership and personal drive which has shaped the capability of the Physical Protection Group. His commendation also notes how the collaborative approach he takes has made him a valued contributor to Diggerworks outcomes and partner with the Defence Materials Technology Centre.
DMTC looks forward to continuing to work with Tom in the Personnel Survivability Program to deliver new technology concepts that contribute to reducing the burden and increasing the survivability of the combat soldier.
27-28 June, 2012 Advanced Manufacturing Precinct RMIT University
DMTC is proud to be sponsoring the 2012 Manufacturing Innovations in Laser Additive Manufacture.
Laser additive technology is providing profitable solutions to today’s manufacturing challenges in a range of industries such as aerospace, medical, automotive and defence. These stem from the many and unique properties that lasers offer compared to other additive technologies in terms of their power, wavelength, power density and nature of operation.
This workshop aims to bring together industry professionals, engineers, researchers and equipment and material suppliers to hear the latest developments and trends in laser additive technology and applications such as Selective Laser Melting, Laser Metal Deposition and Laser Sintering from invited academic, research and industry speakers.
Sessions will focus on laser technology for manufacture of functional components, repair/refurbishment for re-manufactured parts, materials used, design for the manufacture, testing and evaluation of manufactured components.
Who Should Attend? – Manufacturing Engineers and Managers – Process/R&D Engineers – Applications Engineers – Maintenance Supervisors – Precision Parts Specialists
