The Alliance is looking to progress research and knowledge on advanced manufacturing. Currently, we are looking to collaborate or take on researchers/students/apprentices in the following areas:

• Heat Treatment Effects on Bulk Cold Sprayed Components
• Manufacturing Innovation: Barriers to Adoption and Sustainability
• Application Testing and Formal Compliance Pathways for 3D Printed Components
• Residual Stress and Defect Distribution in Bulk Cold Sprayed Components
• Material Combinations, Gradients and Interfaces for Components made from Supersonic 3D Deposition
• Shape Conformation and Optimization for Items Produced Using Supersonic 3D Deposition
• Comparative Environmental, Economic and Manufacturing Footprint of Manufacturing Techniques (e.g. embedded energy)
• Metal Trades Apprentice
• Design and production of portable, modular fabrication and testing facilities
• Electrical Discharge Machining as an application of the SPEE3D technology
• Intelligent procedures, maintenance and training
• Application case studies in the area of:
  • Defence
  • Remote Housing
  • Oil & Gas
  • Automotive
  • Your industry where you have a pain point.
