Advanced manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing is the use of innovative technologies, automation, and data-driven processes to improve efficiency, precision and sustainability in the manufacturing of complex products. The use of technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, high-performance computing, and modelling can enhance manufacturing processes and reduce waste, pollution, material consumption, and energy use.

Advanced manufacturing is key to producing complex, high-performance goods in industries such as aerospace and defence; automotives; medicine and pharmaceuticals; electronics and semiconductors; energy and renewable technologies; mining and agriculture; and textiles
and apparel.
