Unlocking Automation & Advanced Manufacturing in Melbourne April 29, 2026
After a highly successful event in Brisbane in 2025, where industry leaders and innovators came together to explore the latest in CNC, automation, 3D printing and laser technologies, Alfex are thrilled to announce the Smart Manufacturing Expo 2026 is now heading to Melbourne!
Save money and reduce production times by integrating cutting-edge Automation Systems! Join us for an in-depth session that showcases how Automation systems can complement traditional CNC machining, Industrial 3D printers and Laser Systems to create custom jigs, fixtures, and workholding solutions in less time.
This event will provide practical insights into streamlining your production processes, enhancing precision, and reducing costs with the combination of robots with CNC, 3D printing and laser technologies.
Key Highlights:
- Learn how robots can work continuously without breaks, leading to faster production cycles and higher output.
- Learn how to leverage 3D printing to design and manufacture custom jigs and workholding tools quickly and affordably.
- See live demonstrations of CNC and Additive Manufacturing working together to optimise workflow.
- Explore how automation leads to significant savings by cutting labor costs, minimising waste, and improving operational efficiency.
- Discover laser marking solutions from Lotus and Epilog Laser to customise 3D printed parts.
Whether you are a seasoned CNC machinist or new to additive manufacturing, this event is tailored to provide you with the knowledge and tools to elevate your workshop to the next level!
