Charles Darwin University (CDU) partnered with SPEE3D to form the Advanced Manufacturing Alliance. Through collaboration, the Alliance aims to engage with industry partners, trades and academics to develop real-world applications, create industry procedures and standards and drive material development.
CDU Director of Research and Innovation Dr Steve Rogers said the results were promising and he was excited that this innovative technology could help reduce the survival of the virus on high traffic surfaces. “Using the LightSPEE3D 3D printer on our campus the SPEE3D team have been able to trial this innovative engineering solution,” Dr Rogers said. “Working with our facilities staff they installed the first door plate on one of our building in late March. The results suggest that it is very possible to copper coat further items using the LightSPEE3D machine to help reduce the survival of the virus on surfaces.”
