CNC Micro Machining - Realtek Technologies Australia

Micro Machining

Micro machined medical parts. It is widely acknowledged that Australian manufacturers are currently facing a number of critical issues impeding their overall competitiveness. The emergence of China and India in the macro-engineering world has set a bleak scene for the macro manufacturing industries in Australia. Alternative manufacturing strategies and opportunities must be sought if the existing manufacturing capability is to continue to be effectively leveraged. Micro Machining is one of those opportunities this leverages the positive capabilities prevalent in the Australian manufacturing industry namely: Q&A, Management and cost effective control of high diversity, low volume, and high complexity manufacturing.

Micro machined aerospace parts. As part of the company¹s changing business strategy, Realtek has spearheaded the move into Nanotechnology and Micro Machining and currently dominates in the supply, support and technology transfer in relation to Swiss-type CNC Automatic Lathes in this environment.

Additionally, Realtek represents a number of nanotechnology equipment manufacturers, significantly:

EV Group, Austria
Surface Technology Systems, United Kingdom

The single common factor in the application of nanotechnology, in any environment, is manufacturing. As such there is a direct requirement for Micro Machining where packaging, mounting, housing and component manufacture is concerned. This is particularly true in relation to the manufacture of micro plastic injection mould dies, as well as medical and dental device manufacture.

Highlights

COMS2007
COMS is the leading international conference on the commercialisation of micro and nano technologies.

Micro and nano technologies are disruptive technologies that will influence our future economies across every sector - trillions of $’s in new wealth over the next century. Technologies that will reshape every industry and nation, profoundly influencing our quality of life and the way we live. As with all disruptive and revolutionary technologies, businesses will boom and businesses will disappear. Industries and regions will be created, revived and evolutionised. Whole new classes of products and markets previously not possible will be, and are, emerging.

COMS addresses the issues of opportunity realisation - from research, technology transfer, manufacturing processes, facilities, infrastructure, investment, applications and markets, to unique issues such as regulatory, social implications, education and workforce development.
