AMMD Hub projects address key competitive challenges confronting the Australian medical device manufacturing industry by promoting innovations associated with advanced manufacturing.
Our research activity broadly follows four major programs:
Lean Manufacturing and Automation Systems
Improving the efficiency of medical device manufacturing processes through the implementation of best practice workflows and Industry 4.0 technologies
New Fabrication Technology and Advanced Near-net Shape Manufacturing Technologies
Identify, develop and adopt transformational technologies for the manufacture of medical devices
Development of New Materials
Optimisation of material performance and processing for improved manufacturing and clinical performance
Optimised Device Design
Design improvements to optimise the production and performance of existing devices
