Sovereign Manufacturing Automation for Composites CRC

Sovereign Manufacturing Automation for Composites CRC (SoMac CRC) aims to transform Australia’s established composite technologies capability.

Australia is entering a decade of transformation with the arrival of intelligent manufacturing automation and emergence of new high-value industries. SoMac CRC will address these opportunities and strengthen current industry with digital-export-ready, cost-competitive, high-quality platform capability. The CRC will aid this transformation by providing relevant training and education of the workforce aligned to composites.

Key research areas

SoMac CRC has the following research programs:

High Performance Composites Materials Manufacturing Processes

Simulation and Performance Prediction

Design and Integration

Education and Training Program

The CRC is committed to the qualification and training of engineers and composites professionals and strives to align the future workplace with emerging technology, safety and the evolution of work practices.

RMIT’s Dist. Prof Brian Falzon is the Education and Training Director for the SoMac CRC Education and Training Program.
