Monash Automation

Monash Automation is a collaborative, student-led engineering team based at Monash University, Clayton. Operating from the Digital Twin Manufacturing Lab, students engage in hands-on projects, working with cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing services, automation systems, and digital twin technologies.

Sub-Teams

Manufacturing

The manufacturing team aims to design and build smart systems. Our current project, “The Matrix”, is a modular shelving unit designed for 3D printers. This will be the backbone of our automated printing service.

Robotics

The robotics team manages various robotic systems and transport items to designated locations by coding. The team is also actively engaged in research, competition and exploration of robotic 6D printing.

Software

The software team develops applications that allow customers to monitor and receive updates about their 3D printing jobs, and manipulate real-world objects in the digital twins environment.

Design

The design team is responsible for designing of 3D models, UI, posters, T-shirts and other visual assets intended for public consumption.
