 Advanced manufacturing is among Australia's most dynamic areas of business. This sector, which includes aerospace, defence, bio-technology, machinery and tooling accounts for half of Australia's manufacturing output, and is our fastest growing export category.
With world-class research and education sectors, and an attitude of resourcefulness and creativity, Australians are among the best in the world at generating high-value ideas.
At VCAMM, we are positioned to contribute to the growth of advanced materials and advanced manufacturing. By harnessing the imaginations of Australia's best thinkers to solve the challenges of industry, we are accelerating the pace of innovation.
Australia's advanced manufacturing sector is entering an exciting phase of growth. I am proud of VCAMM's achievements in bringing new innovations to market, and look forward to watching the economic benefits flow on to our community.

VCAMM was founded on the premise that the future of manufacturing lies in the ability to generate advanced, high-value products and processes.
Our purpose is to ensure that Victorian industry remains innovative, competitive and flexible. We achieve this by helping industry take full advantage of the extensive capabilities of the research community. In doing so, we accelerate innovation in industry.

The Victorian Centre for Advanced
Materials Manufacturing (VCAMM) offers
a one-stop-shop interface, which allows
industry to maximise the potential for
knowledge and technology transfer from
and to the research community.
Our aim is to bring industry challenges into
the research institutions, and the research
knowledge from institutions into industry.
The Victorian Centre for Advanced
Materials Manufacturing (VCAMM)
is funded from a diverse range of
government, Institutional and private
sources. We remain grateful for the
continuing support of the corporate
sector, trusts, foundations, educational
institutions and the Victorian State
Government.
- We aim to provide an integrated
network of research facilities that
will deliver research outcomes to the
Victorian Manufacturing industry
through cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary
collaboration, with a view
to establishing Victoria as a world
leader in the development and use of
new and advanced materials.
- Expand fundamental and applied
research and research training in
metals and metal alloys, advanced
fibres and composites that will
allow a better understanding of the
structure and performance of new and
advanced materials and products;
- Advance knowledge about the
manufacture of new and advanced
materials to enable them to be
incorporated in a costeffective
way into existing and future
manufacturing production systems;
- Develop modelling and design tools
to assist in the virtual evaluation
of product performance and
manufacturing production systems;
- Develop new manufacturing
processes from the basic research
undertaken by the members;
- Bring together materials researchers
and manufacturing industry to
undertake cost-effective collaborative
research projects on industry-relevant
problems over the entire value chain;
Support undergraduate and
postgraduate research training into
new and advanced materials and to
encourage industry to employ well
qualified staff.
