Our guest in this episode of @AuManufacturing Conversations is Steve Milanoski, Director, Manufacturing Technology at the NSW Government's Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility.
Steve tells us about the AMRF's goals for lifting technology adoption and skills among companies, the need for a Australia to have a manufacturing development institute, and some lessons from a career in contract manufacturing in Australia and as an Additive Engineer at SpaceX before moving here.
