Exclusive to the Defence Trailblazer Proto-Lab Network, state-of-the-art specialist equipment packages at CSIRO facilities support the prototyping and delivery of R&D commercialisation projects.
CSIRO Adelaide houses the Nanotech 650 FG V3 – an ultra-precise CNC diamond turning lathe with up to 6 axes of motion. Compared to regular CNC machines that offer 3 or 4 axes of motion, this piece of equipment is of the most advanced pieces of equipment of this kind available for small-scale prototyping and production in the southern hemisphere.
