Advanced Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC)


The AMCRC's mission is to help SMEs to run their development project through the AMCRC and to be in a position to make use of other technology and developments generated by the CRC. In return, the SME gets investment to accelerate the innovation process.

The AMCR's research capability is provided by the six leading Australian R&D providers with a strong industry link to develop the next generation technology, processes and human resource capabilities to facilitate the transition from traditional to a knowledge-based Manufacturing Industry of the future.

Core participants of the AMCRC are:

Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures (CRC-ACS)


The CRC-ACS's primary aim is to provide a focus for the development of advanced technologies which foster the growth of an efficient, globally-competitive, Australian composite industry. This is achieved by conducting research and development programs into the design, manufacture, testing, durability and supportability of advanced composite structures.

The CRC-ACS brings together the best skills in six of Australia's leading research providers to support its own core staff of 30 research engineers, scientists and technicians. These highly skilled experts work with industry to develop new technologies to improve the cost-competitiveness and structural performance of composite materials in an ever expanding market place.

Current participants in the CRC-ACS are:

Core Members: Supporting Members:
  • Hawker de Havilland
  • DSTO
  • Monash University
  • Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
  • University of New South Wales
  • University of Sydney
