Doing what industry needs: Research, Develop and Deploy.


The Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Technology was formed in 2006 to meet the needs of industry and academia in areas of product and process design, manufacturing production systems, technology management, and materials & manufacturing processes.


CAMTEC is a "technology centre" which means that it incorporates the traditional functions of a "research centre" and adds value through development and deployment via our novel philosophy of Research, Development and Deployment (RD&DTM) - the new "R&D".


Advanced technology enabling projects within CAMTEC span from lightweight alloys to manufacturing processes to management and lean manufacturing systems through to virtual product/process design tools.

Applications and alliances by CAMTEC are well established within the international marine, automotive, aerospace and construction industries.
