🚀Associate Spotlight: RAM3D From prototyping parts for lunar orbit to scaling full production runs, RAM3D has been pushing the boundaries of metal additive manufacturing in Aotearoa since 2012. With 15+ machines, global partnerships, and a strong footprint in aerospace, they’re showing how 3D printing is shaping the future of flight — right here in New Zealand. We sat down with RAM3D to hear their story, their journey from prototyping to production, and what’s next for this pioneering company. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJ_XFgWq #AerospaceNZ #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #NZInnovation Warwick Downing

🚀 Advancing Composite Additive Manufacturing – One Filament at a Time I'm excited to share a quick glimpse into ongoing research at Deakin University: the in-house production of continuous fibre tow-preg filaments for 3D printing of high-performance composites. 🔗 Watch the teaser video here: https://lnkd.in/guYt97bk Using raw carbon fibre tows and thermoplastic polymers, we've developed a process that allows control over fibre volume fraction. This means stronger, stiffer, and more tailored composite materials, ready for real-world applications in aerospace, defence, and beyond. 💬 We're just getting started, stay tuned for more updates as we refine the process, manufacture samples, and put them to the test (and sometimes break them!) to see just how stiff and strong these materials can be. We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with continuous fibre composites. #Composites #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #ContinuousFibreTowPreg #ContinuousFibre #AdvancedMaterials #DeakinUniversity #MaterialsScience #AMResearch #CarbonFibre

We had an exciting hands-on experience in the lab, where we designed a small model using Solid Edge and prepared it for 3D printing with Ultimaker Cura. Cura was a new addition to our skillset, enabling the learning of slicing the model and generate precise G-codes for printing — a step that bridges design and manufacturing in additive processes. 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) is revolutionizing the way we create products, offering unparalleled flexibility, rapid prototyping, and cost-effective customization. From aerospace components to biomedical implants and sustainable product development, its real-world applications are vast and growing. This session not only strengthened design-to-manufacture workflow but also sparked the interest to explore deeper into additive manufacturing technologies. Looking forward to honing these skills further and understanding how this technology can be leveraged to solve real-world challenges.
