AMTIL MACHINING OF EXOTIC MATERIALS Presenter DAVID CREIGHTON, PROJECT COORDINATOR
to Educate & Support our Members • Technology & Innovation • Education Skills and Training • Market Access
to Educate & Support our Members • Industry Skills Advisor - skilling • Over 200 companies • Over 500 staff up-skilled • National Skill Up and Placement • Over 200 unemployed people, trained and employed into CNC operator/setter roles • Advanced Manufacturing Skills Alliance - AMSA • An innovative partnership offering combined training capabilities for the Advanced Manufacturing sector • Alliance Partners • Chisholm - Swinburne • AMTIL - Kangan Batman
Machining of Exotic Materials Topics I will discuss include: • The need for such training • Developing a Solution • Training Model • Results and Benefits
Why is there a Need? • Current Aircraft development utilises 3 times the previous amounts of Titanium • Machining Titanium can take 10 times longer to machine than Aluminium • Not enough Titanium machining capacity to meet demand • No training provided in the vocational training sector
Why is there a Need? • Industry acceptance of TAFE as a solution • TAFE ability to provide latest technologies • Skills development through Capital equipment purchasing • Do TAFE trainers have the expertise relevant to today’s advanced manufacturing problems
Developing a Solution • Building Partnerships • Collaborative Training options • Getting the stake holders involved
Training Models • Flexible delivery methods • Onsite • Offsite • Technology Partner Premises • Open and plain communication • Training speak vs. Industry needs – Lost in translation • Understanding the skills required • Who in the business needs these skills
Developing a Solution • Partners include: • Technical Manager - Sandvik Australia • General Manager - DMG Australia • Director - Advatek Pty Ltd • Production Manager and HR Manager - Production Parts Pty Ltd • Director - Dimac Tooling Pty Ltd • Technical Sales Manager - Camplex Pty Ltd • Director - HS CNC Machines Pty Ltd • Director - FlexiCut Engineering Pty Ltd • Skills Development Officer - Swinburne/Advanced Manufacturing Skills Alliance (AMSA) • And more ….
Where are we today? • A model to deliver skills for any given exotic material • Technology Supply partners ready to provide their expertise • A training supplier mapping the training resources into a Diploma of Engineering in Advanced Trade • Technology users ready to begin the training after receiving final proposals • Continuing the program to cover other exotic materials: • Composites Inconel Rene alloys • Hardened Steels Hastelloy Waspaloy
Results and Benefits “Production Parts has been involved with the Industry Skills Advisor Program working with AMTIL. This project has aided our company in identifying skills and training requirements whilst also matching the appropriate training programs to address these needs.Production Parts fully supports this initiative as it has enabled our company to work closely with local education providers, to develop specific content and tailored programs to support our business; whilst enabling our business to be prepared for continued growth.The uniqueness of this program in partnering with Industry to help co-deliver programs has been an essential element for our success. As we operate a Defence and Aerospace focused business it is an imperative that we remain at the forefront of continually advancing technology.The training packages we have developed as a result of this program will meet Australian defence future requirements, whilst adding greater skills capacity to our people and additional certifications to aid our company.” Kate ThextonHuman Resources ManagerProduction Parts
