Metal Digital Manufacturing Joint Research Unit (JRU)
Research for industry challenges in Europe and Australia
Passionate technology experts taking innovation to the next level
Eurecat, RMIT University and RMIT Europe join forces to create the Joint Research Unit (JRU) in Digital Metal Manufacturing to address industry challenges in the aerospace, automotive and healthcare sectors in Europe and Australia.
From virtual design to functional additive manufacturing components, the JRU has been established to develop materials, products and technological processes that meet the industry challenges of the manufacturing sector.
Therefore, the JRU becomes the greatest ally to improve efficiency, profits, and support technology transfer at the same time.
Shaping the future of manufacturing
Our value proposition
01
Innovation
New concepts, technologies and techniques
are not fully adopted yet by industry
02
Technology transfer
The JRU has experience on how to translate this knowledge into the manufacturing environment
03
Additive manufacturing suppliers
JRU is agnostic from additive manufacturing suppliers

A holistic approach
Digital manufacturing requires a holistic and comprehensive approach to address it. While there are some specialists in specific technologies and cooperation networks, there is no single team that brings together all the necessary knowledge and skills.
The industry needs a reliable partner to support and develop new manufacturing needs from the first product conceptualization phase to the first series productions.
The JRU has been established to fill this strategic niche by offering technology services, consultancy and training while generating new business opportunities between Europe and Asia-Pacific.
