Titomic has recently joined CSIRO’s Kick-Start Program, embarking on a new journey to advance our D Series Cold Spray Systems through digital twin technology. Designed to help Australian start-ups and SMEs access research expertise and matched funding, the Kick-Start Program is supporting us to integrate Cold Spray Digital Twin (CSDT) technology into our systems. This new project uses CSDT simulations to visualise critical parameters—like particle velocity and nozzle performance—giving us the insights needed to enhance system reliability and unlock fresh commercial opportunities across aerospace, defence, and automotive. By embedding cutting-edge digital solutions at the core of our development process, Titomic is paving the way for more efficient, predictive, and robust cold spray applications. With the support of the Kick-Start Program, we’re excited to shape the next evolution of cold spray technology, bringing advanced performance and precision to the industries we serve." https://lnkd.in/gj-BqcKf CSIRO #ResearchAndDevelopment #AustralianManufacturing

What unit type is the Spread Notation reported as? This unit type will determine the input for today's ASIC Rewrite fields 'Spread—Leg 1' and 'Spread—Leg 2'. These fields represent the value of the spread added to the reference price or reference rate of the underlier of the respective leg, reported as one of the following: • monetary amount; • a decimal; or • basis points.

Some news as announced by the ASX this morning: Turbine MachineGenes, a member of The MachineGenes Group, has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Aurora Labs (ASX:A3D), an Australian company that does 3-D printing of parts for aviation engines. As quoted on the ASX site this morning: "Turbine MachineGenes is pleased to have engaged in an MOU with Aurora Labs. This represents an exciting new synergy between novel forms of AI and the emerging field of 3D printing of high-quality mission-critical turbine engine parts. This collaboration will enable AI to interpret and report quantitative understanding of the way 3D printed parts influence the dynamics of aviation engines, ascertained from tiny datasets during engine tests. As well as confirming the printed engine parts are performing within spec, it will enable Aurora Labs to explore novel materials and geometries for engine parts, for enhanced thrust, efficiency and reliability. This is expected to open up new markets within aviation technology, plus analogous markets in maritime propulsion and power generation." For context, Turbine MachineGenes is a private Australian AI company, applying globally novel forms of evolutionary machine learning-- inspired by evolving ecosystems, not neural networks-- to industrial problems. In particular it has successfully developed technology to generate and interpret fully-explainable physics-based digital twins of complex machines such as engines, from very small fragments of noise-polluted sensor data. It does this by evolving the engine digital twins in a virtual environment as if they were living organisms. See: https://lnkd.in/gqV2KRAb

Inspired by the recent announcement of government grants by the Albanese government’s flagship innovation pipeline program - we utilised the easy Grant search feature on the Tendertrace platform to quickly access relevant data on grants for robotics. In less than 30 seconds, our marketing rep was able to pull up 43 notices related to "robotics" across various sectors including robotics companies, robotics process automation, robotics engineering, and robotics as a service. These grants span 5 buyers and 35 suppliers, accumulating to a total awarded value of $119,481,926. Is there any particular grant you are interested in? or perhaps you are unaware of upcoming grants for the coming months, years? #tendertrace

What are the underlying reasons for Australia's poor innovation efficiency ratings? Part of the answer lies in our Knowledge Diffusion, where we rank 72nd, writes Elliot Duff. "Knowledge diffusion refers to the spread or dissemination of knowledge, information, or innovations throughout a society or across various communities. It involves the process by which new ideas, technologies, practices, or discoveries are communicated, adopted, and integrated into existing systems or practices. "The concept of knowledge diffusion is often associated with academic research, where scholars publish their findings in journals or present them at conferences, allowing others in the field to learn from and build upon their work. "However, knowledge diffusion extends beyond academia and encompasses various channels such as informal networks, educational institutions, mass media, and digital platforms. "So, what are the impacts of low knowledge diffusion?" This article gives some explanations, and some ways the nation could do better. #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing #auspol #economics #innovation
