University of Technology Sydney (UTS) researchers have won $4.4 million in government funding to establish the Advanced Prototype Packaging Facility (APPF) and the Vaccine & RNA Design Centre (VRDC).
UTS is a key partner, and a major anchor, of the Tech Central innovation precinct, with significant infrastructure, education and research activities powering innovation for future economic and social growth of New South Wales.
The APPF, a partnership between UTS and the University of Sydney, will be a unique, open-access prototyping facility offering transformative small-to-medium scale manufacturing capabilities. The facility will enhance Australia’s semi-conductor, photonics and deep-tech advanced manufacturing ecosystem.
Associate Professor Nathan Langford, Director of the new facility, says the APPF will give industry and academics across Australia access to a comprehensive suite of state-of-the-art commercial-grade device processing and packaging tools for prototype-scale production volumes.
