Centre for Additive Manufacturing
The RMIT Centre for Additive Manufacturing (RCAM) is a leading multi-disciplinary centre focused on industrial additive manufacturing technology.
Researchers at RCAM collaborate with industry partners to enhance their comparative advantage and increase their global competitiveness using additive manufacturing technologies. Our additive manufacturing expertise in design, materials, modelling and laser technologies enables us to support manufacturing across a range of industry sectors including aerospace, biomedical, automotive, mining, and energy.
“The RMIT Centre for Additive Manufacturing was established to provide a hub of expertise in additive manufacturing at RMIT. We actively work with industry and research partners to produce R&D outcomes that translate readily to commercial results. As a research Centre we are committed to building enduring alliances that deliver value to our partners.”
Through RMIT’s Advanced Manufacturing Precinct, our research teams have access to the latest in metal and polymer additive manufacturing systems, as well as subtractive technologies.
Additionally, our researchers have access to RMIT's Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility (RMMF) and Micro Nano Research Facility (MNRF) for detailed material characterization and analysis.
Advanced Manufacturing Precinct (AMP)
The Advanced Manufacturing Precinct (AMP) is a world class $30m research and teaching facility, based in Carlton, Melbourne. The facility includes metal and polymer additive manufacturing technologies, high-end CNC machines, 3D scanning and mechanical testing and characterisation.

CEO of the Advanced Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC) Andrew McLellan, cannot speak highly enough of the Centre for Additive Manufacturing or its director Milan Brandt.
McLellan credits Professor Brandt with helping shape the focus of his Centre.
"We've been in operation for seven years, and one of the things we've highlighted is that additive manufacturing is a technology of extremely high priority for Australian manufacturers," he says.
