Industry 4.0 | Robotics | Additive Manufacturing
📅 Wednesday 18 February
⏰ 4:00 – 6:00 PM
📍 Auto Controls, Perth (WA)
🎟 Invitation-only | Limited seats
Why This Matters
Western Australian manufacturers are under pressure:
- Skilled labour shortages
- Rising machining and material costs
- Long lead times and fragile supply chains
- Increasing defence, mining, and infrastructure demand
Industry 4.0 isn’t a buzzword anymore — it’s how competitive manufacturers survive and scale.
Join Auto Controls and Markforged for a practical, no-fluff session on how robotics, automation, and additive manufacturing are being used right now in WA to improve productivity, resilience, and margins.
What You’ll See
🔹 From Automation to Additive
How robotics, controls, and 3D printing work together on the factory floor — not in theory, but in production.
🔹 Additive Manufacturing for Real Manufacturing Problems
- Fixtures, jigs & tooling made in hours, not weeks
- Low-run production without tying up CNC machines
- Digital inventory for spares and MRO
- Faster iteration for engineering teams
🔹 FX10 in Action
See how Markforged’s FX10 enables composite + metal parts from one industrial platform — designed for production, not prototyping.
🔹 Made in WA Advantage
Why local, digitally enabled manufacturing matters for defence, mining, energy, and infrastructure supply chains.
Who Should Attend
✅ Manufacturing engineers & automation engineers
✅ CNC shop owners & production managers
✅ Defence, mining, O&G, and industrial OEMs
✅ Operations leaders focused on productivity & uptime
✅ Engineers who want less admin and more output
Food, Drinks & Networking
Stay back, grab a drink, and talk shop with WA engineers and manufacturing leaders who are already implementing Industry 4.0 on the ground.
