Researchers at the ARC Research Hub for Transforming Australia’s Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing have taken their cutting edge 3D printing technology into a commercial application, with the signing of an agreement to print turbojet components for Safran Power Units, a French-based global aerospace and defence company. Then, only days after the announcement of the partnership in Paris, the research team and their Australian partner, Amaero Engineering, were awarded the Business/Higher Education Round Table (B/HERT) Research Translation Award, a new award made for the first time in 2016.
