GE Additive has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Sydney. The 10-year agreement supports the creation of the first metal additive manufacturing ecosystem in Australia – with the critical technology and people in place to drive commercial and economic opportunity, education, skills and job development, fully underpinned by a capacity for fundamental research.
Under the terms of the agreement, GE Additive will invest a maximum of US$1mn annually over the next 10 years in research and development, accelerating the adoption of metal additive manufacturing across Australia.
