Registrations have now opened for Austech 2017, Australia’s premier advanced precision manufacturing and machine tool exhibition, in Melbourne this May.
Yet again, Austech promises to be the unmissable event this year for anyone with an interest in manufacturing. This year’s show is expected to be bigger than ever, attracting more than 10,000 of the industry’s key decision-makers looking to see the latest manufacturing technology up close. As the show’s organiser, AMTIL is hard at work on preparations for the show and looking forward to welcoming Australia’s manufacturing community when doors open on 9 May.
Austech provides a forum for visitors to take a look at the most advanced, cutting-edge manufacturing equipment available today but also to discuss potential applications that will help them provide value-added, innovative and high-tech solutions. The principal focuses at this year’s exhibition will be machine tools for metal cutting and forming, production systems, high-precision tools, CAD/CAM, and accessories.
One of the highlights of this year’s Austech will be the Manufacturers’ Pavilion. First launched at the 2013 exhibition, the Manufacturers’ Pavilion highlights the capabilities of Australia’s precision engineering and advanced manufacturing industry, providing a unique opportunity for Australian component manufacturers, precision engineering firms, toolmakers, advanced manufacturers and general engineering companies to exhibit their unique capabilities. This year the Manufacturers’ Pavilion will be the biggest yet, with exhibitor bookings already far exceeding the 2015 exhibition.
Another key area of the exhibition will be the Additive Manufacturing Pavilion, highlighting the latest innovations in the fast-evolving world of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The Additive Manufacturing Pavilion will once again be held in conjunction with Inside 3D Printing, which will be staging a conference alongside Austech on 9-10 May. Conference attendees will be able to explore the business applications of 3D printing through sessions led by industry experts, demonstrations of the latest 3D printers and services, and programming for designers, professionals, and makers.
As always, Austech 2017 will be co-located with National Manufacturing Week (NMW), as well as the Safety First Conference & Expo.
“Austech 2017 will definitely be an event not to be missed,” says AMTIL Events Manager Kim Banks. “More than 80 exhibitors have already registered for Austech, with many of the key industry players and major machine tool companies gearing up for this year’s show, underlining the importance of Australia’s advanced manufacturing industry.”
Austech will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 9 to 12 May. For updates on the show and to register to attend, visit the AMTIL website.
