NATIONAL MANUFACTURING WEEK

3D printers, robotics, welding and more

WESTERN Sydney businesses are playing a major role at this year's National Manufacturing Week.

Held from May 11 – 13 at the Sydney Showground - Sydney Olympic Park the event features more than a dozen western Sydney businesses; showcasing new food-grade 3D printing, cleaning, welding and other manufacturing capabilities.

Australia's largest, longest-running manufacturing event, National Manufacturing Week (NMW) brings together hundreds of products and services from around the world that are shaping the future of manufacturing.

The NMW showcase is laid out in 12 Product Zones, with advances in Automation and Robotics, Digital Manufacturing, Advanced Materials, Electronics, Engineering and more.

NMW will also present a topical Seminar Theatre program, with industry experts sharing new ideas including, importantly, opportunities to partner with major agencies including CSIRO.

NMW visitors will also get a glimpse of the strategies that have propelled national companies - including Redarc, Bluglass and Cullen Steel - forwards in fiercely competitive markets.

NMW will also showcase bright new Western Sydney-based businesses whose capabilities could open up new horizons for manufacturing.

Among them will be 3D Brink, launching a 3D printer that can print items up to 600mm high in multiple materials including food-grade plastic, wood and carbon fibres.

The new machine, Trinity XL is a cost-effective tool for companies who are looking to quickly, accurately produce prototypes, models, food-grade molds - almost any CAD-based part - in just hours.

Stephen Brink, CEO of the Western Sydney University-based business says: 3D Brink is driven by a passion for this new technology - and we're participating in NMW to meet people and companies who share our excitement for innovation."

Other local businesses participating in NMW include Springwood-based Ensitech, the inventor and manufacturer of the TIG Brush® Stainless Steel Weld Cleaning System, Smithfield-based Techflex, which is recognised globally for braided sleeves that manage and protect cables, hoses and wires, as well as Penrith-based Cryonomic, whose dry ice

blasting provides environmentally safe, effective, hygienic and effective cleaning.

NMW 2016 will be colocated with two industry leading events: the Safety First Conference & Expo, Australia's only one-stop event for safety professionals, as well as Inside 3D Printing, the Sydney edition of the largest 3D printing event worldwide.

NMW is held only once every two years in Sydney, and registration is free for trade visitors. See the full program at:
