Welcome!
The ADaPT Institute enables industry and research partners to translate ideas into validated physical outcomes through advanced manufacturing, mechanical engineering and production engineering.
Our services span high-resolution 3D scanning, reverse engineering, parametric modelling, and quality control, supported by specialist expertise in designing and optimising advanced manufacturing workflows.
The facility hosts a comprehensive suite of additive manufacturing technologies, including metal and polymer 3D printing, alongside associated post-processing and validation capabilities. These resources support rapid prototyping, functional part production, and process development across a range of applications.
ADaPT supports industry and research partners through applied advanced manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and production services. Our activities align with Australian national priorities in advanced manufacturing, sovereign capability, and technology-enabled industry development, including enabling capabilities, low-emissions technologies, and resilient supply chains.

LEXT OLS5100 3D Laser Scanning Microscope
The LEXT OLS5100 3D Laser Scanning Microscope is a high-resolution confocal microscope used for imaging and analyzing the topography and morphology of samples in three dimensions. It uses laser scanning technology to capture surface details at a resolution of up to 10 nanometers, making it useful for a wide range of applications in fields such as materials science, engineering, and biology. The system is capable of imaging a variety of sample types, including transparent and reflective materials, and can generate 3D images and surface profiles with high accuracy and precision.
The C-Therm Trident is a thermal conductivity measurement system used for testing the thermal properties of a wide range of materials, including liquids, powders, solids, and pastes. The system utilizes the transient plane source (TPS) method, which involves heating a thin, flat sensor that is in contact with the sample and measuring the resulting temperature rise over time. This allows the system to accurately determine the thermal conductivity of the sample. The C-Therm Trident is a portable, easy-to-use system that can be used in both laboratory and field settings, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications in materials science, geology, and engineering.
