Australian Sme Funding Launches To Fast-track Additive Manufacturing Adoption
The Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC) has launched its STARTER Project Funding Program to provide funding to help Australian SMEs and start-ups access additive manufacturing (AM).
The $3.25 million funding programme aims to 'fast-track the adoption of additive manufacturing' through dollar-for-dollar matched funding and access to leading researchers. The idea is to help businesses investigate industrial 3D printing across 3-12 month industry-led research projects without the scale, cost or complexity often associated with large research projects.
“Many SMEs and start-ups recognise the potential of additive manufacturing, but they don’t always know where to begin or have the capability to assess where it can create value for their business,” said Simon Marriott, AMCRC Managing Director. “The STARTER Project Funding Program gives businesses a practical pathway to work alongside researchers, test ideas and evaluate how additive manufacturing can improve efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness.”
Applications are now open. Eligible businesses can apply for AMCRC co-funding of between $20,000 and $75,000. Successful applicants will work with AMCRC’s national research network to deliver practical projects focused on measurable commercial and operational outcomes.
