AMCRC forum in Adelaide: Australia must turn AM research into commercial supply
The Additive Manufacturing CRC (AMCRC) held its 2026 Additive Manufacturing Forum in Adelaide with about 200 attendees. Panels agreed that Australia does research well but must commercialise more, with clearer demand signals from government and more local industrial capacity such as powder production. The event comes as the country prepares for submarine work and faces a weakening manufacturing base.
