ADaPT brings together multi-disciplinary expertise across Griffith University in collaboration with leading industry partners to push the boundaries in advanced custom design, rapid prototyping, and new materials, in what is called the ‘next industrial revolution’ or Industry 4.0. ADaPT is built around a ‘Core’ – a modelling, digital design, and prototype testing group - and hosts a number of R&D groups who access and contribute to the Core in their specialist fields. The Core offers a workflow (digital thread) starting with data acquisition and proceeding through functional modelling (digital twins), use of new materials, 3D digital design, virtual testing, fabrication of prototypes to physical and functional testing of prototypes. The ADaPT core works as a service unit for industry clients and Griffith researchers.
