Fabrication lab
Our Fab4.0Lab at HERA House, is the home to state-of-the-art technology solutions and training facilities to ensure our industry is connected to the latest technology advances.
It’s the perfect spot to learn and apply new skills in a practical setting – whether its cobot (collaborative robot) weld scanning, virtual reality for feasibility studies, 3D printing, or data use. Support is also available for conducting research into structural weld design, optimisation, and use of 3D scanned profiles.
This is part of our commitments to our Industry X.0 research programs and our focus to drive uptake of digitisation in businesses by providing a place to play and explore.
