Posted by DMTC on January 9th, 2017 Tagged: collaboration, DMTC, innovation, technologyHeld on 9 November in Melbourne, DMTC’s annual Student Conference was conducted in collaboration with the Research Training Centre for Naval Design and Manufacturing (RTCNDM) and the Defence Science Institute (DSI).
A total of 19 students provided 300 word abstracts of their research work and a 15 minute presentation.
Students represented a wide range of universities including Swinburne University, RMIT, University of Queensland, University of Wollongong, Flinders University, University of Tasmania (Australian Maritime College), Monash University and the University of Melbourne.
The audience consisted of 40 people from across DMTC’s research, industry and defence community. Topics ranged from materials and manufacturing, motion planning and mapping – robotics, shock and CFD modelling, sustainment and through-life assessment models to simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) algorithms.
The conference proved to be a great opportunity for students who had attended workshops on clear science writing and dynamic presentation skills to put their new skills to practice. Just as importantly, the conference and conference dinner gave students the opportunity to network with each other and with their academic supervisors. An encouraging outcome was the number of students already discussing the links between their individual research topics and future potential collaboration opportunities.
Posted by DMTC on November 16th, 2016 Tagged: Education, research, universityOver the past 12 months, DMTC has been conducting an Additive Manufacturing Benchmarking project sponsored by the Victorian Government through the Manufacturing Productivity Networking grant program. The aim of the project is to bridge the gap between technical capability and industry uptake in additive manufacturing. This workshop will give Victorian SMEs an appreciation of the additive manufacturing capability present within Victoria, but will also discuss the practical applications of these technologies through the results of the benchmarking project. Research partners will give an overview of additive manufacturing capabilities present within their organisations and industry partners in the project will discuss lessons learnt in designing, producing and machining parts produced through various additive manufacturing cutting edge techniques.
